↑ 0%Moody's Ratings has downgraded FS KKR Capital Corp, a private credit fund run by KKR and Future Standard, to junk status amid rising bad loans and weak earnings. The ratings firm lowered the fund's debt rating one notch to Ba1 from Baa3. Non-accrual loans climbed to 5.5% of total investments at end-2025, one of the highest rates among rated business development companies. The fund posted a net loss of $114 million in the fourth quarter and earned just $11 million in net income for all of 2025. Moody's cited continued asset quality challenges, weaker profitability and greater net asset value erosion compared to peers. The downgrade could increase borrowing costs for the fund, potentially lowering future returns.
