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 stock is currently trading at $87.39, which is significantly below the consensus price target of $130.00 set by analysts as of October 1, 2026. This valuation gap suggests that the market may be undervaluing the company relative to its expected future earnings, offering a potential entry point for investors seeking upside.
  • Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. recently announced a $5.1 billion acquisition of Gen II Fund, a fund administrator, which signals a strategic move to expand its service offerings and potentially increase fee income. This deal demonstrates the company's ability to execute large-scale transactions that can drive long-term growth and diversify its revenue streams.
  • The company expanded its joint venture with TotalEnergies by adding 700 MW of renewable energy assets to their U.S. portfolio, which currently holds 1.4 GW. This move into the renewable energy sector aligns with global sustainability trends and provides a new source of stable, long-term cash flows, enhancing the company's appeal to environmentally conscious investors.
  • In its most recent quarterly earnings report, the company reported an EPS of $1.63, beating the consensus estimate of $1.43 by $0.20. This strong performance, combined with a net margin of 14.41%, indicates that the company is effectively managing its costs and generating robust profits, which is a positive signal for shareholders.
  • The stock has a PEG ratio of 0.79, which is below 1.0, suggesting that the stock may be undervalued relative to its growth rate. A PEG ratio below 1 often indicates that the stock is a good value for its growth potential, making it an attractive option for growth-oriented investors.

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 a high beta of 1.83, indicating that it is significantly more volatile than the overall market. This means that the stock price is likely to experience larger swings in both directions, which can be risky for investors who prefer stability or have a lower risk tolerance.
  • Several major financial institutions, including UBS Group, TD Cowen, and Jefferies Financial Group, have recently lowered their price targets for the stock. For example, TD Cowen cut its target from $118.00 to $103.00, and Jefferies reduced its target from $129.00 to $112.00. These downward revisions suggest that analysts are becoming more cautious about the company's future performance.
  • The stock is trading near its 52-week low of $82.67, having fallen from a high of $144.84. This significant decline in value over the past year indicates that the stock has been underperforming, and investors may be concerned about the company's ability to recover and sustain growth.
  • The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.71, which, while not extremely high, indicates that it relies on a moderate amount of debt to finance its operations. In a rising interest rate environment, higher debt levels can increase financial costs and reduce profitability, posing a risk to shareholders.
  • Insider activity has been mixed, with some insiders selling shares. For instance, Dane Holmes sold 10,000 shares in September 2026. While insider selling is not always a negative signal, it can sometimes indicate that company insiders are less confident in the stock's near-term prospects, which may concern investors.
