KKR & Co. Inc. (KKR) News Today

KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE: KKR) shares have been under pressure as new analyst coverage provided a cautious near-term signal, despite several price targets remaining above the current market level. Recent investment activity and deal completions offer longer-term support, but do not appear to have offset the broader sentiment impact.

• Positive Sentiment: Goldman Sachs maintained its Buy rating on KKR, while trimming its price target modestly to $125 from $127. The target still implies substantial upside and reinforces Goldman’s constructive view of KKR’s asset-management platform. Goldman Sachs Adjusts KKR Price Target
