CVR Energy
The 13F filing showed that Carl Icahn was holding 71.20 million shares of CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE:CVI) at the end of March. The holding was valued at $1.86 billion at that time. CVR Energy is a holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industries through its holdings in two limited partnerships, CVR Refining and CVR Partners. Financial performance of the company seems not good. For the first quarter of 2016, the firm swung to a loss of $16.2 million, or 19 cents per share, versus to income of $54.9 million, or 63 cents per share, a year ago. CVR Energy said that its income was negatively impacted by the downtime associated with the final phase of a major scheduled turnaround at CVR Refining’s Coffeyville refinery. The company’s stock hasn’t been performing well this year, declining over 56% year-to-date.
Cheniere Energy
In Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSEMKT:LNG), Carl Icahn owns 32.68 million shares, valued at about $1.11 billion. Cheniere Energy is a Houston-based energy company primarily engaged in LNG-related businesses. The company owns and operates the Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal and Creole Trail Pipeline located in Louisiana through its general partner ownership interest and management agreements with Cheniere Energy Partners LP and its partial ownership interest in Cheniere Energy Partners Holdings LLC. Recently, Cheniere Energy Partners subsidiary Sabine Pass Liquefaction priced its offering of $1.5 billion senior secured notes due 2026.

The company owns oil and natural gas marketing and natural gas gathering and compression businesses. For the first quarter of 2016, Chesapeake reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $964 million, mainly due to a noncash impairment of the carrying value of the company’s oil and natural gas properties of about $853 million. The company’s quarterly revenues declined by 39% year over year, primarily due to a decrease in the average realized commodity prices received for its production. During the past six months, shares of Chesapeake Energy’s stock have gained 11.36%.
