Profit takers!!!

[a surfer]

Nice solid climb! $13.11

[OGSPECULATOR]

Nice move!$$$

[downthehatch]

Sold yesterday at 12.20.... bird in the hand.

[mdimport]

Wait for it: The sale price is going over $12.79. My guess will be $15-16.

[a surfer]

This will be a huge winner in the coming 2 years.

HOLDING!

[downthehatch]

Wow-- and here I was complaining that this stock was under-performing for me. But, I was happy to hold it with a 10% dividend yield.

Now the position is up over 20%, plus dividends, for a total return for the six months I've had it of well over 25%.... nice.

KFN major breaking news coming up on CNBC

[downthehatch]

I think the bottom was hit yesterday/ this morning at 9.40.
Glad I picked some up yesterday at 9.43

With a yield of over 9.3%, this stock is way undervalued.

I am confident that along with maintaining or raising the quarterly .22 dividend, the price by year end will be well over 10.00

[mdimport]

I was also a buyer today. KFN has been a great buy over time for me.

[downthehatch]

Bought some more today at $9.45. With a yield now of over 9.3%, This looks like a screaming buy.
Even the downgrade last month said the divvy is sustainable at .22/quarter, so I don't see how this can trade much lower.
And if it does- so what!
If it continues to yield 9%+, who cares what the price is!

[OGSPECULATOR]

Whale buyer today !

[downthehatch]

Bargain price this morning after one analyst downgraded the company.
Love it when the market over0-reacts like that!

KFN yields now about 8%-- nice return these days!!

[OGSPECULATOR]

Phenomenal entity !!!

[OGSPECULATOR]

KFN remains a safe bet.

[OGSPECULATOR]

Love the yield on KFN!

KKR to Invest in Colonie Center

4:15 PM 4/9/2013 - Business Wire

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 9, 2013-- KKR today announced that affiliates and clients of KKR, including KKR Financial Holdings LLC ("KFN") (NYSE: KFN), in partnership with Colonie Pacific, acquired Colonie Center (“Colonie” or “the Center”). Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Colonie is a 1.3 million square foot super-regional mall with over 113 stores that sit on 91 acres in Albany, New York. The Center, located directly off of I-87 at the intersection of Wolf Road and Central Avenue where an average of 117,000 vehicles pass daily, benefits from being in a high-traffic area and within two miles of the University at Albany. The property generates an estimated $245 million in retail sales, including anchors with specialty retail stores producing an estimated $400 per square foot.

Anchored by Macy’s, Boscov’s and Sears, the mall features a strong line-up of national retailers, including Aeropostale, American Eagle, Christmas Tree Shops, Express, Sephora and Victoria’s Secret. Colonie also has a 13-screen Regal Cinemas and a Whole Foods that is anticipated to open in 2014.

In 2007, Colonie Center underwent a significant renovation that incorporated a “lifestyle” retail component and an improved streetscape and attracted national destination tenants such as L.L. Bean, P.F. Chang’s and Cheesecake Factory.

KKR and Colonie Pacific, a partnership between Pacific Retail Capital Partners, Collarmele Partners and Peter Fair (Continuum Partners), plan to make additional capital investments and will also focus on attracting new tenants to the market.

Ralph Rosenberg, a Member of KKR and Head of the firm’s Real Estate group, stated: “Colonie is an institutional-quality asset with tailwinds from a significant recent renovation. With additional investment and a revamped leasing strategy, Colonie will be an even more attractive home for current and prospective retailers in Albany. The transition in ownership will be seamless for shoppers, and our goal is to make the shopping experience even better than it is today.”

Colonie is KKR’s third retail real estate investment since 2011 and ninth overall. KKR’s real estate investment team seeks to partner with real estate owners, lenders, operators and developers to provide flexible capital to respond to transaction-specific needs, including the outright purchase or financing of existing assets or companies and the funding of future development or acquisition opportunities.

Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal Counsel to KKR.

4:47PM KKR Financial beats by $0.20 (KFN) 10.29 +0.31 : Reports Q3 (Sep) earnings of $0.61 per share, $0.20 better than the Capital IQ Consensus Estimate of $0.41.

KFN's Q3 2012 results included net investment income of $90.0 mln, other income of $73.3 mln and non-investment expenses of $51.0 mln. Comparatively, KFN's third quarter 2011 results reflected net investment income of $86.6 mln, other loss of $29.3 mln and non-investment expenses of $17.9 mln.

Other income for Q3 of 2012 totaled $73.3 mln and primarily consisted of $72.4 mln of net realized and unrealized gains on investments. These were largely composed of realized gains from the disposition of certain high yield bond holdings, as continued credit spread tightening in both the high yield and leveraged loan markets drove asset prices higher during the quarter.

8:52 AM 9/6/2012 - StreetInsider

Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on KKR Financial (NYSE: KFN) price target of $10.00.

KKR Financial Holdings LLC Announces Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results and a Quarterly Distribution of $0.21 per Common Share


SAN FRANCISCO, July 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- KKR Financial Holdings LLC (NYSE: KFN) ("KFN" or the "Company") today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Second Quarter 2012 Highlights

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 totaled $71.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share.
Declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.21 per common share for the second quarter of 2012.
Book value per common share of $9.79 as of June 30, 2012 as compared to book value per common share of $9.81 as of March 31, 2012.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, KFN reported net income of $71.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, and $159.3 million, or $0.87 per diluted common share, respectively. Comparatively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, KFN reported net income of $107.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted common share, and $201.3 million, or $1.10 per diluted common share, respectively.

KFN's second quarter 2012 results included net investment income of $85.6 million, other income of $19.5 million and non-investment expenses of $33.6 million. Comparatively, KFN's second quarter 2011 results reflected net investment income of $88.7 million, other income of $62.6 million and non-investment expenses of $36.4 million. Net investment income decreased $3.1 million from the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 to 2012 primarily due to a $9.7 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $4.9 million increase in interest income generated from our corporate loan portfolio. Other income decreased $43.1 million from the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 to 2012 largely due to a $40.2 million decrease in net realized and unrealized gains on investments primarily as the result of a partial sale of one of our largest debt security holdings in the second quarter of 2011.

Portfolio Activity

Natural Resources Strategy

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company completed the following transactions: (i) closed the acquisition of working interests in oil and gas properties located in North Texas for approximately $69.6 million, of which $30.2 million was financed through the Company's non-recourse natural resources credit facility; (ii) funded $29.8 million of the previously announced $90 million commitment to a partnership with Chesapeake Energy Corporation to invest in mineral interests and overriding royalty interests in key oil and gas basins in the United States and (iii) completed the acquisition of additional oil and gas working interests in acreage located in North Texas for approximately $14.8 million.

Commercial Real Estate Strategy

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company invested $36.8 million in Yorktown Center, a major shopping and entertainment center in the Chicago area, through its commercial real estate strategy.

Book Value

Book value per share decreased to $9.79 as of June 30, 2012 from $9.81 as of March 31, 2012. The decrease in book value per share from March 31, 2012 was primarily driven by (i) an increase in the Company's accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders' equity, of $0.24 per share partially as a result of declines in value of certain interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges and (ii) the Company's distribution to shareholders for the first quarter 2012 of $0.18 per common share, partially offset by (iii) the Company's earnings for the second quarter of $0.40 per basic common share.

Distributions

On July 26, 2012, the Company's board of directors declared a cash distribution of $0.21 per common share. The distribution is payable on August 23, 2012 to common shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 9, 2012.

Compass Point Reiterates a 'Buy' on KKR Financial (KFN); Q2 Review

3:02 PM 7/27/2012 - StreetInsider

Compass Point reiterates a 'Buy' on KKR Financial (NYSE: KFN) price target of $12.00 (from $14.00).

Analyst, Jason Stewart, said, "KFN reported 2Q12 net income per share of $0.39, $0.04 short of our $0.43 estimate and $0.02 shy of the street's $0.41 consensus. While the company continues to deliver consistent quarterly results on a cash and operating basis, one time items and significant liquidity balances kept earnings from tracking our projections. KFN has made considerable progress diversifying away from being solely focused on investing in syndicated credit to a specialty finance company with considerable earnings power. However, it is clear that the investments in natural resources (12% of average net equity) have impeded near term earnings progression, though they are still expected to deliver long term value."

"As KFN's investment portfolio becomes increasingly diverse, we believe cash distributions and consistent bottom line results will become the primary valuation drivers of shares."

KKR Financial: Confusion creates an opportunity - FBR Capital Markets (9.97 ) : FBR Capital Mkts believes that recent weakness amid a broad market downdraft and some confusion regarding KFN's share registration have created a buying opportunity. It would be aggressive buyers of KFN at current levels: shares trade at 1.08x last reported book value of $9.24 and a 6.0% dividend yield. While investor focus remains pointed toward KKR's potential involvement in a thawing CLO market, FBR believes the ability to leverage KKR for differentiated investments evidences the flexibility of the franchise beyond simply being a "CLO shop."

KKR Financial reports Q4 EPS of $0.48 vs $0.41 consensus, reports total investment income rose 5% YoY to $141.3 mln (10.28 -0.22)

[researcher59]

I'm averaged in at around $10, but may soon average down .... just watching the action, the downtrend may take it lower ....

[researcher59]

KFN hit a low of 8.80 this morning, a 17% correction from the high last month of 10.60. Looks oversold.

From a guy that sold his 1$ shares at 3.50...dont do it! lol

[rambob]

I am still watching, wishing I had purchased more. Sitting with my original position with an average in the 5's. I may be gone at 14 or so, depending on the divy. I have them in Roth IRA's.

[Superfly15]

KFN is a beast, sad to see nobody posts here anymore because it is still undervalued. Hope those who bought under a buck hang on for a very long time, this is the kind of stock that "makes" people

KKR Financial to record 4Q charges, loss possible
By: The Associated Press | 11 Jan 2010 | 06:26 PM ET
Text Size

SAN FRANCISCO - KKR Financial Holdings LLC said on Monday it expects to record fourth-quarter charges totaling as much as $80 million to reflect deterioration in its portfolios of mortgage-backed securities and corporate loans.

Including those charges, the investment firm expects its fourth-quarter results to range from a loss of 5 cents per share to a profit of a penny per share. In the same quarter a year earlier, KKR Financial posted a profit of 42 cents per share.

On average, analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect KKR to report profit of 27 cents per share. Analysts typically exclude special charges from their estimates.

The biggest charge involves KKR's portfolio of residential mortgage-backed securities, investments consisting of mortgages pooled together. Values of such securities have fallen sharply amid the housing slump and economic recession.

KKR, which is operated by private equity fund Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., said it expects to record a non-cash charge of $60 million to $65 million stemming from its residential mortgage-backed securities.

The remaining fair market value of those securities stood at $120 million to $125 million as of Dec. 31, down from $192.2 million as of Sept. 30, KKR said.

The company also expects to record a non-cash charge of $10 million to $15 million from its reclassification of certain corporate loan investments. The investments are being classified as "held for sale," rather than "held for investment." The charge reflects the difference between the cost and the estimated fair value of the loans reclassified as held for sale.

The loans primarily consist of loans held in collateralized loan obligations, debt securities backed by pools of commercial loans.

KKR did not say when it plans to release its full fourth-quarter report.

Separately, KKR on Monday announced plans for a debt offering. KKR intends to offer $125 million in convertible senior notes due in 2017 in an underwritten registered public offering. The notes will bear interest at a fixed rate and be convertible into cash, or into the company's common shares, or a combination of the two.

Details of the interest rate and other terms will be determined through negotiations between KKR and the underwriters.

KKR said it intends to use net proceeds to repurchase or repay a portion of its existing senior debt, with the remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.

Citi, BofA Merrill Lynch and JPMorgan are acting as joint book-runners for the offering, with KKR Capital Markets LLC acting as a co-manager.

KKR shares lost 68 cents, or 10.2 percent, to $6 in aftermarket activity. They earlier slipped 7 cents to end the regular trading session at $6.68.
