Carl Icahn's activist investment company slashed its dividend on Friday, sending the stock tumbling in premarket trading.

Icahn Enterprises, a holding company that invests in a smattering of businesses, will be reducing its dividend to 50 cents a share, down from $1, the company revealed in a press release discussing third-quarter earnings. The cut stems from Icahn's proposal to acquire additional shares of CVR Energy, a renewable fuels and petroleum refining business.

As of June 30, 2024, Icahn owned approximately 66% of the business.

The stock fell more than 10% after The Wall Street Journal reported on the proposal ahead of the official announcement. At last check, shares were down 5.5% in premarket trading Friday.

CVR Energy's stock was up 4.1% to $17.20. It has fallen 46% so far this year.

"I strongly believe that our portfolio -- both for the investment segment and the controlled businesses -- has significant opportunities ahead. Rarely have I seen a stock market with such extreme valuations -- with some companies trading at unjustifiable premiums and others being massively undervalued. These undervalued situations have created great opportunities for activists." Icahn stated in a press release.
