Is KKR-and-CoInc under- or over-valued?

Valuing KKR-and-CoInc stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of KKR-and-CoInc's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

KKR-and-CoInc's P/E ratio

KKR-and-CoInc's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, KKR-and-CoInc shares trade at around 23x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

KKR-and-CoInc's PEG ratio

KKR-and-CoInc's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.13. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into KKR-and-CoInc's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Shorting KKR-and-CoInc shares

There are currently 7.5 million KKR-and-CoInc shares held short by investors – that's known as KKR-and-CoInc's "short interest". This figure is 21.8% down from 9.6 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting KKR-and-CoInc shares can be evaluated.

KKR-and-CoInc's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

KKR-and-CoInc's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of KKR-and-CoInc shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of KKR-and-CoInc shares traded daily (recently around 2.2 million). KKR-and-CoInc's SIR currently stands at 3.4. In other words for every 100,000 KKR-and-CoInc shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3400 shares are currently held short.

However KKR-and-CoInc's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of KKR-and-CoInc shares, or, against the total number of tradable KKR-and-CoInc shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case KKR-and-CoInc's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 KKR-and-CoInc shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0138% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable KKR-and-CoInc shares, roughly 14 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against KKR-and-CoInc.

KKR-and-CoInc share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 30.64% of net profits

Recently KKR-and-CoInc has paid out, on average, around 30.64% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.36% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), KKR-and-CoInc shareholders could enjoy a 1.36% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In KKR-and-CoInc's case, that would currently equate to about $0.54 per share.

While KKR-and-CoInc's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that KKR-and-CoInc may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

KKR-and-CoInc's most recent dividend payout was on 1 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
