Billionaire Carl Icahn Company $18 Billion Icahn Enterprises Targeted by Short-Seller Hindenburg Research, Share Price Decreases by 25% with Current Market Value of $13.4 Billion
6th May 2023 – Billionaire Carl Icahn company Icahn Enterprises (Market value 1/5/23: $18 billion) has been targeted by short-seller Hindenburg Research releasing a negative report on the company on 1st May 2023, with share price decreasing by 25% (6/5/23) and current market value of $13.4 billion. Icahn Enterprises is a diversified holding company engaged in seven primary business segments: Investment, Energy, Automotive, Food Packaging, Real Estate, Home Fashion and Pharma. Carl Icahn & family owns around 85% of Icahn Enterprises. Hindenburg Research: “In brief, Icahn has been using money taken in from new investors to pay out dividends to old investors. Such ponzi-like economic structures are sustainable only to the extent that new money is willing to risk being the last one “holding the bag”. Supporting this structure is Jefferies, the only large investment bank with research coverage on IEP. It has continuously placed a “buy” rating on IEP units. In one of the worst cases of sell-side research malpractice we’ve seen, Jefferies’ research assumes in all cases, even in its bear case, that IEP’s dividend will be safe “into perpetuity”, despite providing no support for that assumption.” Carl Icahn, Chairman of the Board of Icahn Enterprises statement 4/5/23: “We would like to reassure our long-term unitholders that the market disruption caused by the self-serving Hindenburg report does not affect IEP’s liquidity. We would normally wait for the earnings call but, due to the many inquiries we have received, we are announcing now our intention to declare a distribution in the amount of $2.00 per depositary unit for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, with the election to receive either cash or additional depositary units. I as usual will elect to take the distribution in units. The fundamentals of our business, and our belief in the activist paradigm that has served us well for decades, remain unchanged. We obviously disagree with the inflammatory assertions in the Hindenburg report and intend to respond at length – and to vigorously defend IEP and its unitholders. As we stated previously, we believe that IEP’s performance will speak for itself over the long term as it always has … … To receive accurate information about the Company, all investors are encouraged to review materials filed by IEP with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its investor relations website.”
