KKR Fundraising Cycle Expected to Last Through 2027, RBC Says

KKR (KKR) is positioned to benefit from a "K-shaped" bifurcation in the alternative asset management industry, where larger diversified managers are gaining share, supported by a fundraising supercycle expected to extend through 2027, RBC Capital Markets said.Management said macro volatility could make its $7 per share guidance difficult to achieve, particularly as exits are delayed. However, RBC said in a Tuesday note that its estimates and consensus already reflected a lower baseline of about $6 per share heading into the quarter, helping reset expectations positively.The firm said KKR is benefiting from a fundraising supercycle driven by a secular shift in which limited partners are consolidating relationships with fewer general partners. This dynamic is reinforcing a "K-shaped" industry structure that favors large, diversified alternative asset managers.RBC also highlighted KKR's portfolio company employee ownership program, noting a strong outcome from the sale of CoolIT at a 15x exit multiple. The firm said the program, now implemented across 85 portfolio companies, has supported higher employee retention, stronger revenue growth, and margin expansion.The firm maintained an outperform rating on KKR and lowered its price target to $128 from $132.Price: $101.08, Change: $-0.92, Percent Change: -0.91%

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Rating On Shares Of Kkr & Co. Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our target by $5 to $125 using a narrower equity risk premium to capture worries about future fund performance and a forward P/E of 19.8x, near the five-year historical average at 19.0x and below the three-year average at 21.8x. Public market volatility has shifted investor sentiment to negative on shares of KKR on market uncertainties. KKR financial outcomes are the result of decisions made years ago, so portfolio construction, risk mitigation, and overall discipline should steer its fundamentals away from current market worries. However, we think monetization of private equity holdings may take longer. We lower our adjusted net income by $0.55 in both 2026 to $6.30 and 2027 to $7.50 on projected revenues of $10.1B (prior $10.5B) and $11.5B ($12.6B), respectively. We think large global investors are consolidating their investments with a small number of ALT firms; KKR is one of them. Despite the negative headlines, we think KKR is well positioned for any market upturn to accelerate monetization.

Research Alert: Kkr & Co., Inc. Reported Solid Q1 2026 Results

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:KKR delivered strong Q1 2026 results with operational earnings of $1.47/share, up 19% Y/Y, and Fee Related Earnings of $1.0B ($1.13/share), up 24% Y/Y, driven by 30% growth in management fees to $1.2B. Total AUM reached $758B, up 14% Y/Y, with fee paying AUM of $615B, up 17% Y/Y. We believe the firm's $286B in carry eligible AUM above cost provides sustainable earnings potential, while broad-based performance showed PE up 10% LTM and solid gains across Real Assets and Credit segments. The strategic acquisition of Arctos Partners adds $16B in sports-focused AUM and establishes KKR Solutions as a new business line. We view KKR's $22B quarterly deployment activity and $97B LTM capital invested as evidence of strong market positioning. The firm maintains a robust balance sheet with $13.0B in cash and investments, while returning significant capital through a 5% dividend increase to $0.195/share and $317M in share repurchases, supported by an enhanced automatic buyback program.
