KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) is considering divesting its interest in GfK SE about four years after buying into the German market research company, business daily Handelsblatt said on November 30, 2021, citing sources familiar with the matter. Goldman Sachs has been hired to explore options for an exit for KKR which owns nearly half of GfK, the report said. A potential deal could value the Nuremberg-based provider of data and analytics to the consumer goods industry at more than ?3 billion ($3.41 billion) based on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of about ?200 million, the sources were cited as saying.
