Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEP#NASDAQ">IEP</a>) shares <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">are trading lower on Friday.</a>
The company reported third-quarter earnings per unit of 5 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41839874/icahn-enterprises-l-p-nasdaq-iep-today-announced-its-third-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the street view of 21 cents</a>. Quarterly sales of $2.22 billion missed the analyst consensus estimate of $2.32 billion.
As of&nbsp;October 31, the firm had approximately&nbsp;$2.3 billion&nbsp;between cash and equivalents at the holding company and the investment funds.&nbsp;
In the third quarter, net income attributable to IEP was $22 million, which is an improvement of $28 million compared to the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $183 million, down from $243 million in the prior year&#8217;s quarter.

IEP has proposed that its subsidiary, IEH, initiate a tender offer to buy up to 15 million additional shares of CVR Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVI#NYSE">CVI</a>) common stock at $17.50 per share.
This offer price represents a 6% premium over CVR Energy&#8217;s closing price on November 7, 2024, and a 5% premium over the average price of CVR Energy stock over the last 7 trading days.
IEP said CVR Energy&#8217;s shares are undervalued and sees this as a good investment opportunity. IEP currently beneficially owns, directly and indirectly, 66.3% of the outstanding shares of CVR Energy&#8217;s common stock. If the proposed tender offer were to be fully or over-subscribed, IEP would beneficially own 81.3% of CVR Energy&#8217;s common stock.
As of September 30, Icahn Enterprises&#8217; indicative net asset value decreased by $423 million compared to June 30. This drop was mainly due to a $249 million decline in CVR, a $193 million decrease in Automotive Services, and a $113 million distribution to unitholders, despite a $192 million gain in the investment funds.
Reduces Distribution: On&nbsp;November 6, the Board of Directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of&nbsp;$0.50&nbsp;per depositary unit, which will be paid on or about&nbsp;December 26. The company&nbsp;decreased the quarterly distribution from&nbsp;$1.00&nbsp;per depositary unit.&nbsp;
Price Action: IEP shares are trading lower by 7.10% to $11.98 at last check Friday.

IEP proposed that Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. ("IEH") (or a subsidiary thereof) would commence a tender offer to acquire up to 15 million additional shares (the "Maximum Tender Amount") of common stock, par value $0.01, of CVR, for a purchase price of $17.50 per share.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Icahn Enterprises Delivers Proposal To Acquire Up To 15M Additional Shares Of CVR Energy Common Stock In Tender Offer For $17.50 Per Share

Carl Icahn, the renowned billionaire investor, is planning to increase his firm&#8217;s stake in CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVI#NYSE">CVI</a>) while significantly reducing its dividend payout.
What Happened: Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEP#NASDAQ">IEP</a>), the investment firm controlled by Icahn, is proposing to increase its stake in CVR Energy by over 20%. This move is aimed at capitalizing on what Icahn perceives as an undervalued market, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/icahns-firm-seeks-bigger-stake-in-top-holding-while-slashing-its-own-dividend-26f7f46d?mod=latest_headlines">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal, citing drafts of statements. 
The firm plans to achieve this by purchasing up to 15 million additional shares, raising its holdings to over 81% of CVR&#8217;s shares.
Despite the recent drop in CVR&#8217;s share price, Icahn Enterprises believes the company is undervalued and that shareholders would benefit from a premium cash-out. To fund this transaction and future investments, Icahn Enterprises plans to cut its dividend payout in half.
This is the second time the firm has reduced its dividend since a short-seller report challenged the company&#8217;s valuation and dividend sustainability. Icahn, who owns most of IEP&#8217;s shares, has dismissed the report as misleading.
Icahn Enterprises and CVR Energy did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Icahn&#8217;s decision to increase his firm&#8217;s stake in CVR Energy comes at a time when the company is facing challenges. CVR Energy recently announced the suspension of its third-quarter dividend, leading to a significant drop in its share price.
Despite these challenges, Icahn remains optimistic about the market&#8217;s potential, citing &#8220;great opportunities for activists&#8221; in undervalued situations.
Earlier in the year, Icahn Enterprises settled charges with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for failing to disclose billions worth of personal loans pledged against Icahn Enterprises' securities. The settlement saw Icahn and his firm pay $1.5 million and $500,000 in civil penalties.
Despite these legal challenges, Icahn has continued to make significant moves in the market.

Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEP#NASDAQ">IEP</a>) shares continue to trade higher Tuesday after rising more than 14% on Monday after the company announced the dismissal of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/n40875719/icahn-enterprises-vindicated-by-dismissal-of-meritless-lawsuit-that-parroted-false-and-misleading-">class action lawsuit</a>.
What Happened: Icahn Enterprises announced that U.S. District Court Judge&nbsp;K. Michael Moore&nbsp;found on Sept. 13 that the class action lawsuit against Icahn Enterprises failed to show that the company made material misrepresentations or omissions or did so with an intent to defraud. The lawsuit had been related to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/23/05/32194998/icahn-enterprises-fires-back-at-hindenburgs-ponzi-like-scheme-allegations-intended-solely-to-generat">claims made by short seller Hindenburg Research</a>.
&#8220;We are pleased that the spurious claims of various unscrupulous characters, working together in a coordinated and clandestine network, have been debunked,&#8221; said Carl Icahn, chairman of Icahn Enterprises.
&#8220;We are also happy to have recently settled the investigation initiated by the SEC following the publication of Hindenburg&#8217;s false and misleading &#8216;research&#8217; report. We cooperated fully with the SEC and the SEC&nbsp;found no&nbsp;fraud, inflation of our net asset value or impropriety in our distributions, nor did it validate any of Hindenburg&#8217;s other spurious claims. Instead, we settled a technical disclosure violation.&#8221;
In August, Icahn and his firm agreed to pay $1.5 million and $500,000 in civil penalties to settle the violation. According to the SEC, Icahn pledged approximately 51% to 82% of Icahn Enterprises' outstanding securities as collateral to secure billions of dollars of personal margin loans under agreements with various lenders, starting in 2018. The billionaire investor allegedly failed to disclose the moves until 2022.
Regulators also alleged that Icahn failed to file amendments to securities filings describing his personal margin loan agreements and amendments dating back to at least 2005.&nbsp;
Icahn Enterprises announced in late August that it may issue and sell up to $400 million worth of its depositary units. The company on Tuesday said that it has sold less than $3.5 million worth of units under the program since it was announced.

IEP Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/IEP">Icahn Enterprises shares</a> were up 7.91% Tuesday after closing Monday up 14.5%. The stock was hovering around $13.40 at the time of publication, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
