On August 5, KKR & Co LP fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $105.085/share, with turnover of $126 million. The decline came as the broader Asset Management & Custody Banks sector experienced widespread selling pressure.
On the news front, BofA Securities lowered its price target on KKR from $147 to $143, while the sector saw broad-based declines with peers Blackstone falling 1.13%, Ares Management dropping 2.38%, and BlackRock declining 0.44%. The pullback followed a 3.21% gain in the prior session driven by multiple catalysts including the completion of a record $19.2 billion Global Infrastructure Investors V fund, a definitive agreement to acquire Integer Holdings in a $5.7 billion all-cash deal at $127 per share, and a Citigroup-led $2.45 billion debt financing package to support the Integer transaction. Despite this dense cluster of positive developments, sector-wide headwinds and the price target reduction contributed to profit-taking pressure.
