Aug 24

On August 24, KKR & Co LP rose 3.05% overnight, trading at $111.79/share, with Turnover of $224.0.

On the news front, KKR, together with Dragoneer Investment Group and insurance distributor Amwins, formally signed a scheme implementation deed with Australian insurance broking giant Steadfast Group. The transaction is valued at approximately 7.7 billion Australian dollars (approximately $5.52 billion), marking another major move by KKR in the global insurance distribution sector.

The deal cements KKR's strategic expansion into insurance-linked assets.

Analysts remain constructive on KKR, with Jefferies maintaining a Buy rating and raising its price target to $129, while the consensus average target stands at $127.37.
