Icahn Enterprises LP (NASDAQ: IEP) saw its stock price surge 8.06% in intraday trading on Wednesday, following the release of its impressive third-quarter 2025 financial results and the disclosure of a significant new investment. The company, led by billionaire investor Carl Icahn, reported substantial improvements in key financial metrics and revealed a strategic stake in an automotive service chain.
For the third quarter, Icahn Enterprises posted a net income of $287 million, or $0.49 per depositary unit, a remarkable increase from $22 million, or $0.05 per unit, in the same period last year. The earnings per share significantly beat the analyst estimate of $0.14. While revenues slightly decreased to $2.7 billion from $2.8 billion in Q3 2024, the company's profitability saw a marked improvement. The adjusted EBITDA for the quarter more than doubled to $383 million, up from $183 million in the prior year period.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Icahn Enterprises reported an increase in its indicative net asset value to approximately $3.8 billion as of September 30, 2025, representing a rise of $567 million since June 30, 2025. Furthermore, the company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.50 per depositary unit. In a separate filing, it was revealed that Carl Icahn had acquired a 14.79% stake in Monro Inc., an automotive service chain, signaling a new strategic investment for the firm. This combination of strong financial performance, shareholder returns, and new investment activity appears to be driving the significant rally in IEP's stock price.
