Analysis of KKR & Co. Inc. indicates a solid performance under Validea's Growth Investor model. KKR has demonstrated positive earnings growth in the current quarter and is expected to outperform previous quarterly earnings. However, the stock has reported weaknesses in sales growth and long-term earnings persistence, which could raise concerns for investors.

The report specifically highlights a few key areas:
  • Earnings Per Share (EPS): The EPS growth for the current quarter is more favorable compared to the prior three quarters, indicating a positive trend.
  • Revenue Growth: There is a failure noted in the sales growth rate, which is crucial for investors focused on future growth potential. Weak sales growth could limit revenue increases and hinder stock price appreciation.
  • Long-term Earnings Growth: The long-term EPS growth and earnings persistence were both marked as failures, signaling potential volatility in growth rates in the future.
The overall rating of 69% denotes moderate enthusiasm, but the weaknesses could temper aggressive investment strategies. Given that a score of 80% or above typically indicates a more favorable outlook, investors might want to monitor sales growth trends closely. A balanced approach will be necessary, weighing the positive quarterly earnings against the lack of strong sales growth and long-term EPS issues.
