There were minor adjustments in star investor Carl Icahn’s portfolio in the first quarter of 2026. This is how his portfolio was made up.
There were manageable changes in Carl Icahn’s portfolio in the first quarter of 2026. A few positions were expanded, only two holdings were reduced and only one position was completely liquidated: Southwest Gas was completely removed from the investment professional’s portfolio. While the portfolio still had assets under management of $8.45 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, this rose slightly to $8.55 billion in the first quarter of 2026.
This means that the assets still significantly exceed the value of 100 million US dollars, which is why Icahn is required to file a 13F form with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to disclose his investments at the end of each quarter.
The following ranking lists the top ten investments according to their share of the portfolio in the past quarter. Only stock investments are taken into account for the ranking. The ranking is as of March 31, 2025.
