Carl Icahn's Investing Arm Suffers 61% Losses in August.

Icahn Enterprises LP's stock fell another 3% on Friday, extending its month-to-date losses to 61%. The stock has been under pressure since a May 2 report by Hindenburg Research accused Icahn's publicly traded investment vehicle of inflating asset values. The report has cost IEP more than $10.9 billion in lost market cap. Bill Ackman, founder and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, weighed in on the Hindenburg report with some thoughts of his own, reviving a longstanding feud between the two billionaires.

Bill Ackman's Comments Cause Icahn Enterprises Stock to Plummet.

Shares of Carl Icahn's investment firm, Icahn Enterprises LP, fell by as much as 24.7% to $18.03, their lowest in nearly two decades, after Bill Ackman called out the company's high valuation on Twitter. This comes after short-seller Hindenburg Research's scathing attack on the company three weeks ago. Ackman echoed Hindenburg's allegation that IEP was relying on a "Ponzi-like structure" to pay dividends. At least one technical indicator suggests that the selloff in IEP shares is overdone.

Ackman and Icahn's IEP suffer losses after Hindenburg report.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman has questioned the valuation of Carl Icahn's flagship firm, Icahn Enterprises, after it became the target of short-seller Hindenburg Research. Ackman noted that the company's premium had been sustained by a large dividend yield, which is generated by returning capital to outside shareholders, funded by the company selling stock to investors. Hindenburg has accused IEP of overvaluing its holdings and relying on a "Ponzi-like" structure to pay dividends. Shares in IEP have lost more than half their value so far this year.

Icahn's Empire Loses Billions After Short Seller Report.

Carl Icahn's holding company, IEP, lost over $6 billion in value after a critical report from short seller Hindenburg Research accused the company of over-valuing its holdings and relying on a "Ponzi-like" structure to pay dividends. Icahn called the report "self-serving" and stood by IEP's statements about its finances. IEP shares hit an intraday low of $31.78, their lowest in more than a decade. The Hindenburg report has wiped $7.5 billion off Icahn's fortune, leaving him with a net worth of $10.8 billion, according to Forbes.
