Icahn Enterprises LP\u2019s stock was trading down 0.7% Thursday, after short seller Hindenburg Research intensified his bearish bet on Carl Icahn\u2019s investing arm, and said he\u2019s now taking aim at its bonds.<\/p>\n

Hindenburg, run by Nate Anderson, said the latest disclosures made Wednesday by IEP raised more questions about Icahn\u2019s personal margin loans, or debt, from the company as well as portfolio losses at IEP. The short seller also said disclosures, intended to counter Hindenburg\u2019s May 2 report, failed to address the issues raised. <\/p>\n

\n

The original report raised questions about asset valuations and Icahn\u2019s own borrowing from the company using his units as collateral. <\/p>\n

Hindenburg Research, which typically aims to profit from the decline in value of the shares of companies that it writes negative reports about, kicked off such a bet against Icahn Enterprise earlier this month but has now also set its sights on the company\u2019s debt. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs noted in our earlier report, Icahn had not disclosed \u201cbasic metrics around his margin loans like loan to value (LTV), maintenance thresholds, principal amount, or interest rates.\u201d This is still the case,\u201d said Hindenburg. <\/p>\n

IEP has not said why Icahn had borrowed against his holdings. The company didn\u2019t respond to a request for comment on Thursday\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, IEP\u00a0disclosed a federal probe into its corporate governance\u00a0and other issues. It is unclear if that investigation by the Southern District of New York is related to Hindenburg\u2019s report and allegations, but the news put further pressure on the stock.<\/p>\n

The bonds, which have been more active than usual since the first report, took another leg down on Thursday, as the attached charts from market-data company BondCliQ show, as Hindenburg said it has taken a short position in them. <\/p>\n

The longest-dated bonds, the 4.375% notes that mature in February of 2029, were trading at around 75 cents on the dollar, as of midmorning.<\/p>\n

Icahn owns 84% of IEP shares and disclosed in a 2022 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that he had pledged more than 181 million units, or 60% of his holdings, for margin loans. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, IEP
\n IEP,
\n +5.87%<\/bg-quote>
\n said that pledge had increased to 202 million units, which Hindenburg estimates was valued at $6.5 billion as of Wednesday\u2019s close, based on his calculations.<\/p>\n

The battle between the iconic activist investor and the short seller has clobbered IEP\u2019s stock, which has fallen 39% in the month to date at a cost of more than $6 billion of market cap. <\/p>\n

IEP posted an unexpected loss on Wednesday of $270 million, or 75 cents per depositary unit, for the first quarter, after income of $323 million, or $1.06 a unit, in the year-earlier period. The FactSet consensus was for income of 19 cents.<\/p>\n

Revenue fell to $2.758 billion from $2.968 billion a year ago, ahead of the $2.559 billion FactSet consensus. Analysts on its conference call didn\u2019t pose any question of executives who briefly outlined the quarterly numbers.<\/p>\n

The company on Wednesday also issued a rebuttal of the May 2 report from Hindenburg and said it would \u201ctake all appropriate steps to protect our unit holders and fight back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Icahn acknowledged that the investment segment has underperformed in recent years, which he blamed on its bearish view of the market and large net short position, which it has now scaled back. <\/p>\n

IEP offers exposure to Icahn\u2019s personal portfolio of public and private companies, including petroleum refineries, car-parts makers, food-packaging companies and real estate. Its unit holders are mostly individual investors, which means the market-cap loss prompted by the report has hurt those individual investors, said Icahn.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
