A private equity company that has had some problems because of tight credit. I expect it to come roaring back now that credit has loosened, and resume paying dividends in the mid to upper teens.

As the recession wanes and credit markets continue to thaw, KKR Financial will be a outsized beneficiary, after holding a portfolio of collateralized loans through the credit crisis. This company is an investment trust that holds loan securities, and after booking an unrealized loss of 1 billion last year, it's stock price hit a low of 1, after being as high as 30 in the past 2 years. According to a recent Barron's story, KKR could use proceeds from the Dollar General IPO "to pay off some of it's senior debt tranches, which include the assets in KFN's CLO portfolio, and which could boos KFN's book value." The other catalyst in the near term, is that KFN could begin paying a dividend as cash flow improves, and that would immediately make the company more desireable to investors, and would signal the worst is over for KFN. This stock trades at a substantial discount to book value, pegged at 5.69. Under 4, this is a buy, buy, buy!!

KFN has an illiquid balance sheet and a too high valuation compared to its sales potential. It is also loss making.

Hit hard like other financials. They've cleaned up their sheet and haven't had a tremendous upside. Trading currently in the $1.80s after a low of $0.40, this should return to at least $8 in two years, after reinstating the dividend, which could happen as early as Q1 2010.

The stock is a baby that got thrown out with the bath water.
Selling for less than 3 times earnings. Paying out a huge dividend
What's not to like?

With $900 million in cash on the june balance sheet, and a market cap of $650 million, how can you go wrong here? With April insider purchases at 11 bucks, and an august insider purchase at 8 bucks, management sure believes that this is worth well in excess of 4.34.
What am I missing?

Just look at the dividend. Also, their actual risk is very low, when you understand the company.

The description is a specialty finance company that uses leverage to generate competitive returns. In the current market, this is a death sentence. However, unlike so many of their brethern, KKR has been extremely upfront in keeping the market apprised of their actions. They sold (or tried to sell) the vast majority of their MBS portfolio in the fall of '07. Given the incredible spread-widening in corporate securities, their strategy of reinvesting their MBS proceeds in this sector of the fixed income market should prove to be a winning strategy in the second half of 2008.
