About Carl Icahn
# Carl Icahn - Q2 2026 Portfolio Profile
Carl Icahn operates through Icahn Capital, managing an $8.3 billion portfolio as of the Q2 2026 filing dated August 14, 2026. The portfolio comprises 12 positions, reflecting a concentrated investment approach characteristic of activist-oriented capital deployment. Icahn Capital's structure centers on significant stakes in operating companies and investment vehicles where the firm maintains direct or influential engagement.
The Q2 2026 filing reveals a portfolio heavily anchored in Icahn Enterprises LP, which represents 54.0% of total value at $4.5 billion. CVR Energy Inc (23.7%) and CVR Partners LP (5.6%) represent substantial exposure to energy infrastructure and midstream operations. Centuri Holdings Inc (5.3%) and International Flavors and Fragrances Inc (4.1%) complete the top five holdings. The portfolio's 92.7% concentration in these five positions reflects the investment thesis of substantial ownership stakes rather than diversified equity allocation. The unclassified sector designation (95.4% of portfolio) reflects holdings in private or newly public companies and partnership structures outside traditional sector classification frameworks.
Quarter-over-quarter activity in Q2 2026 included one new position addition and one complete exit. Two existing positions received increased capital allocation, while two positions were reduced in size. This activity pattern aligns with active portfolio management and rebalancing, though the overall concentration metrics remained stable. The portfolio's composition continues to reflect direct ownership and control-oriented positioning across energy, infrastructure, and specialty industrial sectors.

Small, deeply-held book with conviction-sized positions.
The portfolio is highly concentrated, with the top five holdings representing 92.6% of total value across just 12 positions, and exhibits pronounced sector tilting at 91.1 while maintaining minimal technology and AI exposure at 1.7. Position persistence of 99.3% reflects substantial quarter-over-quarter stability, though the moderate Herfindahl-Hirschman Index score of 35.6 indicates some distribution within the concentrated core. Low turnover of 20% over the last twelve months demonstrates a static holding structure characteristic of a long-term activist approach.

About
Founder of Icahn Enterprises. Pioneer of shareholder activism in the U.S.
During Q2 2026, Icahn Capital increased its position in Icahn Enterprises LP by approximately $310.6 million to $4.46 billion, representing the largest dollar movement in the portfolio. The firm trimmed exposure to American Electric Power by 63.9% and reduced its JetBlue Airways holding by 38.6%, while maintaining a modest increase in SandRidge Energy. A notable restructuring occurred in Bausch + Lomb holdings, where the investor exited a prior position and simultaneously initiated a new stake of 3.5 million shares valued at approximately $58 million, suggesting a potential conversion or reorganization of the underlying investment. Because 13F filings are delayed by up to 45 days, this should not be treated as real-time investment advice. Always do your own research.
