BMO Capital’s rating is based on KKR & Co’s strategic positioning and potential for growth in a recovering capital markets environment. The firm is a leader in private equity, with its flagship private equity funds and integrated capital markets platform poised to benefit from a resurgence in IPO and M&A activities. This is supported by the strong realized gains reported in the third quarter of 2025, indicating KKR’s ability to capitalize on market opportunities.
BMO Capital also highlights KKR’s fundraising momentum and expanding private wealth distribution, which are contributing to the firm’s financial resilience. The innovative partnerships and product developments, such as the K-Series, are broadening KKR’s market reach and reinforcing its competitive advantage. Additionally, KKR’s efficient use of its balance sheet, particularly through strategic holdings and insurance operations, provides stability and positions the firm for accelerated earnings growth as market conditions improve.
In another report released on September 26, Barclays also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $165.00 price target.
