JBLU ▲ +0.2% - JetBlue Airways Corporation $JBLU Activist investor Carl Icahn gives up JetBlue board seats after sharply cutting stake JetBlue shares rose modestly today after activist investor Carl Icahn announced he is relinquishing his board seats and has significantly reduced his stake in the airline. Icahn's exit from the company's governance and his substantial reduction in ownership suggests he no longer sees near-term catalysts for value creation at JetBlue, which could signal either improved confidence in current management or a shift in his investment priorities elsewhere. 28-AUG-2026 08:09 AM ET
