KKR's stock performance was lackluster despite its leading position to acquire Japanese herbal health company Yomeishu Seizo for approximately $506 million. KKR has first negotiation rights and aims to finalize terms, including the purchase price, by January 2026. Two auctions have already occurred, with KKR and other funds bidding for Yomeishu, whose market value is around ¥79 billion. The tender offer will depend on negotiations with Yomeishu's largest shareholder, Yuzawa KK.
