KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) is an investment company that deploys capital across private equity, real estate, credit, and infrastructure. It targets a wide range of industries and asset classes through majority and minority stakes. Additionally, Cramer was bullish on the stock at the beginning of the year, as he commented during a January episode:
“I am gonna say that I like the stock very much and I think those guys are so smart. I would be a buyer… At one point it was down really big today. That made no sense to me whatsoever.”
Furthermore, Baron Fifth Avenue Growth Fund stated the following regarding KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) in its Q1 2025 investor letter:
“Our second largest addition in the quarter was to the alternative asset manager, KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR). Similarly to Samsara, we took advantage of the volatility in the stock market to add to this great business. While investors are concerned about the potential near-term slowdown in realizations, capital markets activity, and carry (performance fees), we remain focused on the long term. Various secular tailwinds that benefited KKR thus far continue – this includes the growing allocation to alternatives, its diversified asset class exposure, its successful track record of performance, and its significant exposure to the growth of private credit through its ownership of Global Atlantic, which has a differentiated positioning thanks to the structural match in duration between the asset side and the liability side.”
While we acknowledge the potential of KKR as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
