Sprouts Farmers Market closes $600 million revolving credit facility
Investing.com - TD Cowen has reiterated its Buy rating and $148.00 price target on KKR & Co. (NYSE:KKR) following meetings with the company’s CFO in Canada.
The meetings, which took place on June 17-18 as part of TD Securities’ second annual US Corporate Access Day, reinforced the research firm’s structurally bullish stance on the alternative asset manager.
TD Cowen noted a slight improvement in investor sentiment toward KKR compared to its recent visit with Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO) in the same region earlier this month.
The firm highlighted three key positive factors supporting its outlook: structural growth vectors, platform operating leverage and durability, and KKR’s ability to meet its key performance indicators.
TD Cowen believes KKR is well-positioned to navigate tactically volatile markets while remaining leveraged to attractive secular growth, with investor tone in the region appearing to improve.
