FS KKR Capital stock (ISIN US3026352068) closed at USD 10.97 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, down 1.26 percent from the prior close. The latest quarterly figures combined an earnings beat with a continuing credit and valuation debate around the business development company.
Q2 earnings beat estimates
According to MarketBeat, FS KKR Capital reported USD 0.43 in earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with a USD 0.42 consensus estimate. Revenue came to USD 290.0 million, exceeding the USD 286.75 million estimate by USD 3.25 million.
The result was stronger on the income line than the underlying market reaction suggests. The finance statements show consolidated net income of negative USD 34.0 million for Q2 2026, while revenue declined from USD 304.0 million in Q1 2026 to USD 290.0 million in Q2, a sequential decrease of 4.6 percent.
Reduce rating and modest target upside
The analyst picture remains cautious. MarketBeat reported that eight research firms assign FS KKR Capital an average Reduce rating, consisting of seven Hold ratings and one Sell rating. Their average 12-month price target is USD 11.43, which places the target 4.2 percent above the October 2 closing price.
Wells Fargo supplied the clearest negative counterpoint. As Investing.com reported, the bank downgraded the stock to Underweight from Equal Weight and kept a USD 10.00 price target. The report cited non-accrual exposures of USD 897 million at cost and USD 430 million at fair value.
Dividend supports the income case
FS KKR Capital also declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.44 per share, up from USD 0.42, according to MarketBeat. The payout equals USD 1.76 on an annualized basis and a 15.6 percent yield, but the income profile sits alongside the reported net loss and credit concerns.
October 2 close stays below yearly high
FS KKR Capital traded within a 52-week range of USD 9.72 to USD 16.31 on October 2, 2026. Its USD 10.97 closing price was 32.7 percent below the yearly high, leaving the valuation debate tied to both portfolio performance and distribution durability.
