Also, private equity group KKR & Co. L.P. (NYSE:KKR) declined -15.00% due to a soft earnings report combined with Brexit fears. The company reported a loss of -$0.65 per share, well below consensus of -$0.34 per share. The key reason for the miss was an unfavorable mark-to-market on the balance sheet, largely due to its First Data Corp. (FDC) holding. Then, as Brexit occurred toward the end of the quarter, KKR was one of the hardest-hit stocks in the financial sector. We think the short-term earnings report and the overreaction to a political shift do little to harm the company’s long-term value.
