KKR posted Q1 2026 with management fees of $1.2 billion up 30% and adjusted net income of $1.39 per share up 20%, as fee-related earnings per share of $1.13 grew 23%. However, management indicated the 2026 ANI target of $7+ per share was more likely to land below that level due to modestly less visibility on monetizations. Strong fundraising momentum continued across asset classes, and the Arctos acquisition added sports and GP solutions capabilities. AI and digital infrastructure investment expanded, while the insurance segment faced competitive pressure.
