KKR Stock Soars 1.67% on Analyst Ratings, Partnership

KKR's stock price surged to its highest level since February 2025, with an intraday gain of 1.67%. The stock has been on a winning streak, rising 0.93% today and 2.72% over the past two days.

Analysts have recently provided mixed ratings for KKR. HSBC downgraded the stock from "Buy" to "Hold," setting a new price target of $142. Conversely, Piper Sandler analyst John Barnidge initiated coverage with a "Buy" rating, forecasting an 8% upside to $150. These differing opinions can sway investor sentiment and impact the stock price.

KKR's strategic partnership with Itaú Asset Management is another significant development. This collaboration aims to link Itaú with KKR's extensive global network of institutional investors, potentially boosting investment flows into Latin America. If this partnership yields successful investment opportunities and increased revenue, it could positively influence KKR's stock performance.

Additionally, KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. is scheduled to release its second-quarter 2025 financial results. The performance of this segment will be closely watched, as it could significantly affect KKR's overall stock price based on the reported outcomes.
