Carl Icahn slashed his company’s quarterly payouts in half and pledged to “stick to our knitting” in another substantive move acknowledging complaints raised by short-seller Hindenburg Research earlier this year.
Shares of Icahn Enterprises LP fell as much as 37% in New York on Friday after the firm said it will pay out $1 per depositary unit, down from the previous $2 a unit.
