MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P.:

  • The company recently announced a strategic agreement to acquire Gen II Fund Services for a total enterprise value of $5.1 billion, a move that positions the firm to capture significant value in the growing private capital fund administration sector.
  • Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. shares are currently trading at $89.77, which is significantly below the consensus price target of $130.00 set by fifteen analysts, suggesting substantial potential for price appreciation as the market digests recent strategic moves.
  • The firm demonstrated strong financial performance in its most recent quarterly report, beating consensus estimates with earnings per share of $1.63 compared to the expected $1.43, while also reporting revenue of $5.73 billion against a consensus estimate of $2.55 billion.
  • Institutional confidence remains high, with the stock holding a "Moderate Buy" consensus rating from analysts, and recent activity shows that major institutional investors like National Pension Service have increased their holdings, indicating long-term faith in the company's asset management capabilities.

KKR & Co. Inc.
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. for these reasons:

  • The stock has experienced significant volatility and a sharp decline from its 52-week high of $144.84 to its current price of $89.77, reflecting a substantial drop in valuation that may signal underlying market concerns or sector-specific headwinds.
  • Short interest in the stock has been rising, with the number of shares shorted increasing to 13,631,623 in the most recent reporting period, indicating that a growing number of traders are betting against the stock's future performance.
  • Recent insider activity includes a significant sale by Dane E. Holmes, who sold 10,000 shares at an average price of $108.58, representing a 54.02% decrease in their ownership, which can be interpreted as a lack of confidence from company insiders.
  • The company faces a high beta of 1.83, meaning its stock price is significantly more volatile than the overall market, which can lead to larger price swings and higher risk for investors seeking stability.
  • The acquisition of Gen II Fund Services for $5.1 billion represents a substantial financial commitment that may strain the company's resources or lead to integration challenges, potentially impacting near-term profitability and cash flow.
