Why is FS KKR Capital Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

FS KKR Capital Corp. has been sued for securities fraud following significant stock drops resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws. The decline in FS KKR Capital’s stock price caused significant losses to investors.

FS KKR Capital is a private credit firm that specializes in making private loans (also called “debt investments”) to companies. FS KKR Capital’s principal source of revenue is interest income earned on its debt investments, as well as other fees and dividends from the companies in which it invests.

During the relevant period, FS KKR Capital claimed it was establishing an improved portfolio credit profile, and that any non-accrual issues with legacy investments were being adequately addressed through restructuring. For instance, FS KKR Capital stated that it “made significant progress restructuring certain non-accruing investments” and that the “long-term earnings power of FSK continues to be healthy[.]”

As alleged in the lawsuit, in truth, FS KKR Capital misrepresented the valuation of its portfolio investments and the effectiveness of its portfolio valuation process.

Why did FS KKR Capital’s Stock Drop?

On August 6, 2025, FS KKR Capital reported Q2 2025 earnings, revealing that its net asset value had declined to $21.93 per share, down $1.44 per share, or 6.2%, from the prior quarter, and the total fair value of investments fell $474 million. The company also reported earnings (loss) per share of negative $0.75, down $1.18 per share, or 274%, from the prior quarter.

This news caused the price of FS KKR Capital stock to decline $1.66 per share, or 8.2%, from $20.24 on August 6, 2025, to $18.58 per share on August 7, 2025.

Then, on February 25, 2026, FS KKR Capital reported Q4 and full year 2025 earnings, revealing net asset value had continued to decline to $20.89 per share, down $1.10 per share, or 5%, from the prior quarter, and the total fair value of investments fell another $406 million. The company reported earnings (loss) per share of negative $0.41, down $1.17 per share, or 154%, from the prior quarter. FS KKR Capital also “acknowledge[d] specific challenges” with additional companies in its portfolio and cut its dividend to $0.48 per share (previously $0.70).

This news caused the price of FS KKR Capital stock to decline $2.03 per share, or 15.24%, from $13.32 per share on February 25, 2026, to $11.29 per share on February 26, 2026.
