TL;DR Summary

Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ:IEP) saw its shares drop 4% in after-hours trading and 23% in regular trading after disclosing that the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) had contacted the company regarding various aspects of its operations. This follows a similar inquiry by the U.S. Attorney's office in May. Icahn Enterprises also announced a 50% reduction in its quarterly distribution, prompting criticism from Hindenburg Research, which had previously issued a short report on the company. The SEC and U.S. Attorney's office have not made any claims or allegations against Icahn Enterprises or its owner, Carl Icahn.
