KKR Group Finance Co. IX LLC 4. (KKRS): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Financial - Credit Services · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is KKRS undervalued?
At 15.43 (close of 16 Oct 2026), KKRS trades 74% below the GLS average fair value of 58.82. That average comes from 2 models run on the latest filings, and 2 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns KKR Group Finance Co. IX LLC 4. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The average is built from just 2 models (DCF, DDM) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.
The nightly engine files KKRS under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.

Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number.

Quality and financial health
KKR Group Finance Co. IX LLC 4. scores only 3 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 3.1/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 0.0%, ROE 0.0%, ROA 0.0% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 7.49% (payout ratio -10%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual. Revenue comes mainly from Insurance 62%, Asset Management And Strategic Holdings… 39% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 3 / 9 | ROIC | 0.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.1 / 10 | ROE | 0.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 0.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -16.2% | Payout ratio | -10% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
