GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on July 9, 2007, under the name 'Prospect Acquisition Corp.' On November 13, 2009, KW Merger Sub Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Prospect Acquisition Corp., merged with Kennedy Wilson, resulting in Kennedy Wilson becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Prospect Acquisition Corp. Promptly after the merger, it changed the company name to 'Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc,' The company is a holding company whose primary business operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc., or 'Kennedy Wilson'. It provides oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans, and investments in joint ventures. Its AUM is intended principally to reflect the extent of its presence in the real estate market, not the basis for determining its management fees. Its operations are defined by two core business units: KW Investments and KW Services. KW Investments invests its capital and its partners' capital in real estate related assets including multifamily, loans secured by real estate, office, and residential properties. KW Services provides a full array of real estate-related services to investors and lenders, with a strong focus on financial institution based clients. In KW Investments it invests its capital and its equity partners' capital in real estate assets and loans secured by real estate through joint ventures, separate accounts, commingled funds, and wholly-owned investments. It is typically the general partner in these investment vehicles with ownership interests ranging from approximately 5%-50%. Its equity partners include financial institutions, foundations, endowments, high net worth individuals and other institutional investors. In many cases it gets a promoted interest in the profits of its investments beyond its ownership percentage. KW Services offers a comprehensive line of real estate services for the full lifecycle of real estate ownership and investment to clients that include financial institutions, developers, builders and government agencies. KW Services has three business lines: auction and conventional sales, property services and investment management. These three business lines generate revenue for it through commissions and fees.
