# Weekly Recap | KKR -6.6%, most brokers rate it buy

## The Week

KKR fell 6.6% this week, closing at $90.29 and underperforming the S&P 500 by roughly 6.33 percentage points. The stock opened Monday at $95.34 and slid through the week, touching a low of $89.19 on Thursday before finishing Friday at $90.29. Daily closes tell the story: $93.24 on Monday, $93.18 on Tuesday, $91.30 on Wednesday, $91.24 on Thursday, and $90.29 on Friday. The week’s high-low range was about 6.8%.

## Key Events

M&A and asset-deal news dominated this week. On Monday, Samsung committed $1 billion to Helix Digital Infrastructure to support global AI infrastructure buildout, a platform linked to KKR. On Tuesday, KKR said it would take a majority stake in Cisternina. On Wednesday, KKR disclosed it would sell Japan and Korea terminal assets, with CTT’s Japan and Korea businesses sold to institutional investors; the same day, GIC bought 16 Marriott-run hotels in Japan for $800 million. On Friday, Thomson Reuters and KKR completed their joint venture for the Global Print Business. Media reports on Friday also said KKR wants to invest more in the UK. No material earnings release came during the week.

## Analyst Ratings

As of 2 October 2026, 23 institutions cover KKR: 12 rate it buy, 8 rate it overweight, and 3 rate it hold, with none at underweight or sell. The consensus rating is buy, and the consensus target price is $126.54, about 40.15% above the closing price of $90.29. Targets range from $97 to $166, pointing to a wide spread of views. Within the asset management and custody banks industry, KKR ranks 2nd out of 106 companies.

## The Week Ahead

KKR’s fiscal third-quarter results are scheduled for 9 November 2026 before the open, still outside the coming week. On the macro side, Monday brings the US S&P Global services PMI final and ISM non-manufacturing PMI, with prior readings of 58.7 and 55.4 respectively, and the latter forecast at 55. Tuesday brings international trade data, with a prior reading of -88.6 and a forecast of -102. Wednesday has EIA weekly crude inventory numbers. These releases may shape market views on rates and growth, which can spill over into sentiment toward asset managers like KKR.

## In Short

KKR’s pullback this week ran alongside a busy stretch of deals, including asset sales and acquisitions, while brokers kept a mostly buy or overweight stance and a consensus target well above spot. The stock closed near $90, below its 20-day moving average of $98.18 and its 60-day moving average of $102.46. The next test is whether third-quarter results validate expectations on the portfolio, and how incoming macro data shifts the mood around valuations.
