KKR stock (ISIN US48251W1045) was last trading at USD 90.29 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 1.04 percent on the session. The latest company update puts more than USD 750 million of third-quarter monetization activity on the table through September 25, 2026.

Monetization adds to earnings setup

Business Wire reported on September 25, 2026, that KKR's income from monetization activity exceeded USD 750 million for the period from July 1 through September 25, 2026. The figure excludes the pending USI Insurance Services transaction, which KKR agreed to sell to Aon for USD 17 billion on August 31, 2026.

The update is a useful read-through for the investment manager because realized performance income drove the activity, while the company cautioned that the figure does not represent total third-quarter revenue. That distinction keeps the monetization figure separate from the recurring fee base.

Second-quarter beat sets benchmark

KKR's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 5.73 billion, while adjusted EPS was USD 1.63 against USD 1.43 consensus, according to MarketBeat on October 1, 2026. The USD 0.20 adjusted EPS beat provides the earnings reference point for the next report.

The same MarketBeat overview lists a Moderate Buy consensus from 15 analysts, including 12 Buy ratings and three Holds. The average 12-month price target is USD 130, which lies 44.0 percent above the October 2 reference price of USD 90.29.

November 9 sets next checkpoint

KKR plans to release third-quarter 2026 results before the NYSE opens on November 9, 2026, with a conference call at 10:00 a.m. ET, according to Business Wire. The date gives investors a defined checkpoint for testing whether monetization activity translates into reported earnings.

Stock stays below yearly high

KKR stock was last trading at USD 90.29 on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, with a market capitalization of USD 81.1 billion and a 52-week range of USD 82.67 to USD 144.84. The reference price stood 37.7 percent below the 52-week high.
