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.

KKR & Co. Inc.
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

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

  • The company recently demonstrated strong financial performance by beating analyst expectations in its most recent earnings report, posting earnings per share of $1.63 against a consensus estimate of $1.43, which signals robust profitability and operational efficiency to the market.
  • Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. is actively expanding its investment portfolio through high-profile deals, including a new euro-denominated joint venture with Realty Income for a 49% stake in a European net lease real estate portfolio and a $2 billion acquisition in the home services sector, indicating continued growth in its alternative asset management capabilities.
  • The stock currently trades at $99.97, which is significantly below the average analyst price target of $130.00, suggesting that the market may be undervaluing the company relative to its long-term potential and providing a potential entry point for value-oriented investors.
  • Institutional confidence remains high, with a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" from fifteen analysts, and recent filings show that major institutional investors like the National Pension Service and Saudi Central Bank have increased their positions in the company during the second quarter.
  • The company offers a consistent income stream through its quarterly dividend, with a recent payout of $0.195 per share, which provides a yield of approximately 0.77% and a manageable payout ratio of 24.84%, allowing the firm to retain capital for growth while rewarding shareholders.

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 recent decline, trading at $99.97 after dropping from a 52-week high of $152.10, which reflects a substantial drawdown and potential market skepticism about the company's current valuation or future earnings trajectory.
  • Short interest in the stock has been rising, with shares shorted increasing to 13,656,948 as of the most recent record date, indicating that a growing number of traders are betting against the stock's price appreciation, which can create downward pressure on the share price.
  • The company faces a high beta of 1.79, meaning its stock price is significantly more volatile than the overall market, which can lead to larger swings in value and higher risk for investors who are sensitive to market fluctuations or have a lower risk tolerance.
  • Recent insider activity includes significant selling, such as Dane Holmes selling 10,000 shares in September 2026, which may signal that company insiders are taking profits or are less confident in the stock's near-term upside compared to the broader market.
  • The company's balance sheet shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.71 and a current ratio of 0.09, which indicates a high level of leverage and limited short-term liquidity, potentially increasing financial risk if interest rates rise or if the company faces unexpected cash flow challenges.
