On May 2, 2023, shares of Icahn Enterprises dropped as much as 20% in intraday trading after Hindenburg published a report alleging the company is grossly overvalued and resembles a “Ponzi-like” structure. According to the Hindenburg report, “Icahn has been using money taken in from new investors to pay out dividends to old investors.” The report further alleges that the 15.8% dividend investors enjoy is unsustainable and only possible due to the at-the-money stock offering program used by Icahn. The report claims that Icahn trades at a 218% premium compared to its stated net asset value (NAV), which indicates the stock could be overvalued.
On May 3, 2023, the day after the Hindenburg report came out, Icahn announced it would delay releasing its first quarter earnings report until May 10. The earnings report states that the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York contacted Icahn Enterprises and is seeking production of information relating to its affiliates’ “corporate governance, capitalization, securities offerings, dividends, valuation, marketing materials, due diligence and other materials.”
Following this news, Icahn’s stock price dropped over 15% on May 10, 2023, to close at $32.22 per share, further harming investors. As of May 23, 2023, ICAHN shares have plummeted 43% since the publication of the Hindenburg report, according to Insider.
