The PSH materials page renders only the twenty most recent documents, but the complete 'Letters & Presentations' inventory runs to 62 items, from Ackman's November 2014 Q3 letter to the February 2026 letter in the 2025 Annual Report. It includes every annual-report letter 2014-2025, every semiannual/interim letter 2015-2026, the standalone quarterly and event letters (the March 2016 Valeant note, the 2017 Herbalife exhibit, the June 2018 ADP letter, the January 2022 and March 2020 Pershing Square Capital Management letters to investors, the April 2022 letter to shareholders), and the annual investor presentations 2015-2026. The PDFs themselves live on assets.pershingsquareholdings.com. Ackman's 13D exhibit letters (Herbalife, Canadian Pacific, Target, Valeant, JC Penney, Howard Hughes) sit on SEC EDGAR under Pershing Square Capital Management, CIK 0001336528, as EX-99 exhibits to SC 13D/A filings.
