Philip woes don't faze Icahn; U.S corporate raider has yet to reveal plans for troubled firm
Article Abstract:
Philip Services Corp.'s legal and financial difficulties do not seem to trouble Carl Icahn, who has acquired a 12.6% interest in the firm. Analysts and shareholders were perplexed by Icahn's gesture to spend over $70 million for a troubled firm. Mr. Sbrolla, who used to be employed by Philip, said the problems faced by Philip suggest the reasons why Icahn wants it. He said Icahn sees the potential of certain operating units within Philip, which when combined with personnel, contracts, equipment and the firm's good name, would mean valuable business.
