MW Icahn Enterprises' stock slides 4% as majority-owned CVR Energy suspends its dividend

Icahn Enterprises LP's stock $(IEP)$ fell 4% early Tuesday, after CVR Energy Inc. $(CVI)$, in which it owns a 66% stake, said it would suspend its third-quarter dividend. CVR's stock was down almost 25%. The company, which specializes in renewable fuels and petroleum refining, as well as nitrogen fertilizer, posted a net loss of $124 million, or $1.24 a share, for the quarter, after earnings of $353 million, or $3.51 a share, in the year-earlier period. Adjusted for one-time items, the company's loss per share came to 50 cents, wider than the 9-cent loss consensus of FactSet analysts. Sales fell to $1.833 billion from $2.522 billion a year ago, also below the $1.910 billion FactSet consensus. Earnings for the refining business were hurt by "reduced refining throughputs attributable to unplanned downtime at both facilities partially caused by external power supply outages during the quarter," CEO Dave Lamp said in prepared remarks. "The board's decision to suspend the quarterly dividend reflects its concerns on just how long the current margin environment will persist in light of the company's large, planned turnaround at its Coffeyville refinery in the first quarter of 2025."
