The yield on the 10-year benchmark note dipped on Friday after the jobs data, but still remained above 4%, partly boosting some megacap stocks. "At this point in some ways the jobs data doesn't do much to the Fed. Giving solid boost to the S&P 500 index, Amazon.com shares (AMZN.O) surged 10.9% after the company issued an upbeat third-quarter outlook. Of the 422 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported quarterly earnings as of Friday, 79.1% have beat analysts' estimates, according to Refinitiv data. Amgen (AMGN.O) gained 6.2% after it reported a higher quarterly profit on strong sales of its cholesterol, osteoporosis and other drugs.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File PhotoAug 4 (Reuters) - Carl Icahn-owned investment firm Icahn Enterprises (IEP.O) on Friday halved its quarterly payout, months after short-seller Hindenburg Research accused it of operating a "Ponzi-like" structure to pay dividends. Hindenburg said on Friday it remained short on the company, in a post on messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter. "Icahn Enterprises will eventually cut or eliminate its dividend entirely, barring a miracle turnaround in investment performance," Hindenburg said when it had announced its short position. "We do not intend to let a misleading Hindenburg report interfere with this practice (of distributing dividends)," Icahn Enterprises said in a statement.

Shares of Icahn Enterprises, the firm led by the billionaire financier Carl C. Icahn, fell as much as 30 percent on Friday after the saber-rattling investor, under pressure from a short seller, said his firm would halve its quarterly dividend and refocus on the style of activist investing that brought him his fame and fortune. The announcement comes three months after Hindenburg Research, the short seller, released a report questioning the financials of Icahn Enterprises, and whether it had the wherewithal to continue paying a dividend to shareholders. Hindenburg, led by Nathan Anderson, accused Mr. Icahn’s firm of running “Ponzi-like economic structures.” Short sellers profit when stock prices fall. The plunging stock price of Icahn Enterprises is the latest setback for the 87-year-old investor who, for more than four decades, has taken on publicly traded companies and pressured their chief executives to make changes. Including the drop on Friday, shares of Mr. Icahn’s firm are down roughly 50 percent since Hindenburg released its report on May 2.

Icahn's company has been on a roller-coaster ride since the Nathan Anderson-led short seller took a public short position in May, alleging "inflated" asset valuations, among other reasons. Shares of IEP, a holding company that is involved in myriad businesses including energy, automotive and real estate, tumbled nearly 44% in the second quarter. Shares of Carl Icahn's conglomerate Icahn Enterprises experienced a sharp sell-off Friday after the firm slashed its quarterly dividend in half amid notable short seller Hindenburg Research's campaign. Hindenburg took issue with IEP's high dividend yield, saying it's "unsupported" by the company's cash flow and investment performance. Icahn Enterprises on Friday reported a net loss of $269 million for the second quarter, more than doubling the loss of $128 million from the same quarter a year ago.

[1/2] A selection of injector pens for the Wegovy weight loss drug are shown in this photo illustration in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., March 31, 2023. The global market for weight-loss drugs is forecast to reach as much as $100 billion within the decade. Beyond severe mental health disorders, other patients struggling with obesity tend to suffer from mental health issues like depression and anxiety at higher levels than the general population, studies show. However, psychiatrists specializing in eating disorders are wary that drugs like Wegovy could exacerbate their patients’ focus on weight loss because they are so effective. Dr. Michael Weintraub, an endocrinologist at NYU Langone Health, said ideally psychiatrists will work with endocrinologists because weight-loss drugs require careful monitoring not related to mental health issues.

July 10 (Reuters) - Billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn has amended the terms of his personal loans to separate them from the price of Icahn Enterprises' (IEP.O) depositary units, the investment firm disclosed in a filing on Monday. The move comes months after short-seller Hindenburg's criticism triggered a massive fall in the shares of his investment company. Icahn and its affiliates have entered into a three-year loan agreement with banks, including Bank of America, N.A. In the amended loan agreement, Icahn will provide additional collateral of $2 billion from his personal funds and 320 million IEP shares. It also said IEP units were inflated by more than 75%.

July 6 (Reuters) - Shares of Applied Digital (APLD.O) slumped on Thursday after Wolfpack Research disclosed a short position in the digital infrastructure company and accused it of "an embarrassing and predictable stock promotion." Insiders at B Riley hold a 48.4% stake in Applied Digital and will exit their position as it becomes clear that the company's claims "make no sense," Wolfpack alleged. The short-seller said Stability AI, Applied Digital's biggest prospective AI customer, was also "dubious." Applied Digital, Stability AI and B Riley did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests seeking comment. Dallas, Texas-based Applied Digital is the latest target in a series of short-seller attacks that have shaken corporate America this year.

Investors, bankers and lawyers expect a busy second half where activists may become more involved in trying to jumpstart mergers and acquisitions (M&A). "Volatile markets and depressed M&A markets are not deterring activists from launching campaigns in 2023," said Jim Rossman, global head of shareholder advisory at Barclays. In the second half, Barclays' Rossman expects to see a market with pent-up demand for M&A and $1.4 trillion parked in private equity firms' war chests that needs to be put to work. "The proof is in the pudding in the 2023 proxy season," Rossman said. "Activists won seats at 80% of proxy contests that went to a final vote, compared to 33% in 2022."
