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 agreed to sell USI Insurance Services to Aon for approximately $17 billion in cash, a transaction that is expected to generate about $3.3 billion in proceeds for Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., providing significant liquidity and demonstrating the value created through its Strategic Holdings portfolio.
  • With the stock currently trading at $109.83, the price remains well below the consensus target price of $130.00, suggesting potential for significant upside as analysts maintain a Moderate Buy rating and recent price targets from firms like Oppenheimer have been raised to $166.00.
  • Recent earnings data from July 30, 2026, showed the company reported $1.63 in earnings per share, beating analysts' consensus estimates of $1.43, while revenue of $5.73 billion significantly exceeded expectations, indicating strong operational performance and profitability.
  • Insiders have shown confidence in the company's future by making substantial purchases, including CEO Scott C Nuttall buying 125,000 shares and Director Timothy R Barakett purchasing 50,000 shares in early 2026, which often signals that management believes the stock is undervalued.
  • The board of directors approved a $500 million stock repurchase program in May 2026, authorizing the company to buy back up to 0.5% of its stock, a move that typically indicates the board believes the current share price does not fully reflect the company's intrinsic value.

Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • The Justice Department imposed a reported $250 million premerger penalty on the company, which raises concerns about increased compliance costs, regulatory scrutiny, and potential reputational damage that could impact future operations and investor sentiment.
  • The stock has experienced significant volatility, hitting a 52-week low of $82.67 in March 2026 and a 52-week high of $152.10, with a beta of 1.79 indicating that the stock is much more volatile than the overall market, which may be risky for conservative investors.
  • Short interest has been increasing in recent months, with shares shorted rising to 12,497,112 as of August 14, 2026, up from 8,819,129 in late February 2026, suggesting that a growing number of traders are betting against the stock's future performance.
  • Some institutional investors have reduced their exposure, such as Empowered Funds LLC trimming its stake by 30.3% and Moore Capital Management LP selling 78,000 shares in the second quarter, which may indicate a lack of confidence from certain large holders.
  • The company's current ratio and quick ratio are both 0.09, which is very low and suggests that Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. may have limited liquid assets to cover its short-term liabilities, potentially raising concerns about its immediate financial flexibility.
