Is KKR & Co. under- or over-valued?
Valuing KKR & Co. stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of KKR & Co.'s overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
KKR & Co.'s P/E ratio
KKR & Co.'s current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, KKR & Co. shares trade at around 24x 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 & Co.'s PEG ratio
KKR & Co.'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 & Co.'s future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 7.3 million KKR & Co. shares held short by investors – that's known as KKR & Co.'s "short interest". This figure is 24.9% down from 9.7 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting KKR & Co. shares can be evaluated.
KKR & Co.'s "short interest ratio" (SIR)
KKR & Co.'s "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of KKR & Co. shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of KKR & Co. shares traded daily (recently around 2.1 million). KKR & Co.'s SIR currently stands at 3.44. In other words for every 100,000 KKR & Co. shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3440 shares are currently held short.
However KKR & Co.'s short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of KKR & Co. shares, or, against the total number of tradable KKR & Co. shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case KKR & Co.'s short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 KKR & Co. shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0134% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable KKR & Co. shares, roughly 13 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 & Co..

KKR & Co. share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 30.64% of net profits
Recently KKR & Co. 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 1.34% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), KKR & Co. shareholders could enjoy a 1.34% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In KKR & Co.'s case, that would currently equate to about $0.54 per share.
While KKR & Co.'s payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that KKR & Co. may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
KKR & Co.'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").
KKR & Co. share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, KKR & Co.'s shares have ranged in value from as little as $15.3515 up to $41.74. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while KKR & Co.'s is 1.4238. This would suggest that KKR & Co.'s shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
