KKR reported strong third-quarter 2026 financial results, characterized by historic highs across primary metrics. The firm saw fee-related earnings per share rise 24% to $1.42, fueled by record management fees and performance revenues. Total assets under management (AUM) grew 11% to reach $804 billion, supported by $116 billion in new capital raised over the past year.
