What Else?

Among several issues raised by Hindenburg in the report, the investment research firm highlights how Icahn Enterprises’ "current dividend yield is ~15.8%, making it the highest dividend yield of any U.S. large cap company by far, with the next closest at ~9.9%." Hindenburg is concerned this dividend yield may be unsustainable.

Additionally, Hindenburg says the research firm's research has found that IEP units are inflated by 75%+ due to three key reasons:

  • IEP trades at a 218% premium to its last reported net asset value (NAV), vastly higher than all comparables.
  • Hindenburg says it has uncovered clear evidence of inflated valuation marks for IEP’s less liquid and private assets.
  • The company has suffered additional performance losses year to date following its last disclosure.
