ICAHN ENTERPRISES’ ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
On May 2, 2023, market analyst Hindenburg Research published a report alleging, among other things, that Icahn Enterprises’ “last reported indicative year-end [net asset value] of $5.6 billion is inflated by at least 22%.” The report also claimed that the company operates a “ponzi-like economic structure” and “has been using money taken in from new investors to pay out dividends to old investors.”
Following this news, Icahn Enterprises’ share price fell $10.06 per share, or 20%, to close at $40.36 per share on May 2, 2023.
Then, on May 10, 2023, before the market opened, Icahn Enterprises filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC for the period ended March 31, 2023. Therein, the company stated that the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York contacted Icahn Enterprises on May 3, 2023 seeking production of information relating to the company, certain of its affiliates’ “corporate governance, capitalization, securities offerings, dividends, valuation, marketing materials, due diligence and other materials.” Icahn Enterprises claimed the company is “cooperating with the request” and is “providing documents in response to the voluntary request for information.”
Following this news, Icahn Enterprises’ share price fell $5.75 per share, or 15.1%, to close at $32.22 per share on May 10, 2023.

Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
