KKR (ISIN US48251W1045) was trading at USD 88.89 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026 at 11:08 a.m. ET, down 1.97 percent from the previous close of USD 90.67. The share price stood 38.63 percent below its 52-week high of USD 144.84, keeping valuation and earnings quality at the center of the stock discussion.

KKR trades below its yearly high

The intraday range extended from USD 88.32 to USD 90.25, while volume reached 836,663 shares by 11:08 a.m. ET. The market capitalization was USD 79.8 billion, compared with a 52-week low of USD 82.67, leaving the stock 7.52 percent above that lower boundary.

That spread matters because KKR's price decline has outpaced the latest operating improvement. The stock remains closer to its yearly low than its yearly high, while the most recent quarterly figures point to stronger realized earnings.

Q2 earnings beat consensus

In Q2 2026, adjusted EPS reached USD 1.63 versus USD 1.43 consensus, according to Financial Report Insights. The same report put GAAP diluted EPS at USD 0.70, up from USD 0.50 in Q2 2025.

Q2 revenue was USD 5.7 billion, up 12.5 percent year over year, while net income reached USD 660 million, up 39.7 percent. The comparison gives investors a more useful signal than the share price alone: KKR's latest quarter combined higher revenue with stronger profitability.

Consensus target reaches USD 127.46

The analyst picture remains more constructive than the October 7 quotation. MarketBeat lists a Moderate Buy consensus based on 16 analysts, with an average target of USD 127.46, a high target of USD 166.00 and a low target of USD 97.00.

Using the NYSE price of USD 88.89 on October 7, 2026, the consensus target lies 43.4 percent above the price. The range from USD 97.00 to USD 166.00 also shows that the target distribution is broad, so the average does not represent a single analyst view.
