As reported earlier, Argus analyst Stephen Biggar upgraded KKR to Buy from Hold with a price target of $28. The analyst says the pullback in the company's stock price is unwarranted, with its latest Q3 earnings beating expectations amid "continued healthy growth in fees and performance-related income". Biggar adds that the recent "market turbulence" will offer the company opportunities to deploy its "substantial cash holdings" in assets with future monetizations. The analyst further stated that its valuation premium to other alternative asset managers is "warranted by KKR's greater liquidity following its conversion to corporate status".
