KKR & Co. Inc.
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P.:

The company recently announced a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share, which translates to an annualized dividend of $0.70 and a yield of 0.72%. This consistent dividend payment can provide a steady income stream for investors.

KKR & Co. Inc.
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. for these reasons:

The current stock price is around $32.96, which is significantly lower than the recent price targets set by analysts, indicating potential volatility and uncertainty in achieving those targets.
The company has a quick ratio and current ratio of 0.07, suggesting potential liquidity issues, which could impact its ability to meet short-term obligations.
Recent insider selling, where a major shareholder sold 6,000,000 shares, could signal a lack of confidence in the company's short-term performance, which may concern potential investors.
Some analysts have downgraded their ratings on the stock, reflecting mixed sentiments in the market and potential challenges ahead for the company.
