FSK FS KKR Capital Corp Insider Trading

Director Kropp purchases 1,666 shares of FSK at $11.16 (27.0K total holdings); stock down 53.4% from 52-week high.

Director James H Kropp acquired 1,666 shares of FS KKR Capital Corp at $11.16 on 2026-02-27, bringing his total holdings to 27,000 shares. The transaction occurred against a backdrop of significant price pressure: FSK has declined 53.4% from its 52-week high of $23.48, and dropped 20.6% over the past 30 days. The company maintains a net income of $214,000,000.00 with a P/E of 273.75 and market cap of $3.1B. This purchase by a board member during a steep drawdown from recent highs is noteworthy context for investors evaluating whether the timing reflects internal confidence or merely routine capital deployment.

FSK President & CIO Pietrzak buys 5,000 shares at $11.25; stock down 53.8% from 52-week high, 4 of 5 prior buys at ticker well-timed 90d.

Pietrzak's $56,250 purchase represents an 8.4% addition to his FSK position at $11.25, occurring as the stock trades 53.8% below its 52-week high of $23.48 and down 31.4% over 90 days. His same-ticker trade history at FSK shows a strong 90-day timing pattern: 4 of 5 prior buys generated positive 90-day returns, with gains ranging from 6.3% to 8.3%. This transaction aligns with his demonstrated ability to accumulate shares at levels that subsequently appreciated, though current price action ($10.85, down 21.3% in 30 days) shows the stock remains under pressure since the February 27 purchase. The timing structure mirrors his prior disciplined entry points, but the recent sharp 90-day decline in FSK presents a marked departure from his historical success rate at this ticker, warranting observation of whether the 90-day pattern reasserts.

Director Hopkins buys 450 shares of FSK at $15.50; stock down -35.5% from 52-week high of $24.06.

Hopkins Jerel A, a director of FS KKR Capital Corp, purchased 450 shares at $15.50 on 2025-12-05, bringing holdings to 10,148 shares (+4.6% increase). The purchase occurred when FSK trades at $15.52, down 35.5% from its 52-week high of $24.06. His prior trades at this ticker show a weak timing pattern: only 1 of 5 prior buys had positive 90-day outcomes, with returns ranging from -17.5% to +3.7%. His cross-ticker track record is similarly lackluster, averaging -3.0% over 30 days and -5.4% over 90 days with a 16.67% win rate, suggesting this director's open-market purchases have historically not preceded meaningful stock appreciation. The small transaction size ($6,972.75) and modest holding increase warrant routine scrutiny of fundamental value rather than confidence signaling.

CEO Michael C. Forman buys 10,000 FSK shares at $15.50, raising stake to 24,220 shares (+70.3%)

Michael C. Forman, FS KKR Capital Corp's Chief Executive Officer, purchased 10,000 shares at $15.50 on 2025-11-11, increasing his holdings from 14,220 to 24,220 shares—a 70.3% increase in personal stake. The transaction occurs while FSK trades at $15.65, only 0.97% above his purchase price, and substantially below the 52-week high of $24.06 (a -35.0% gap). Forman's cross-ticker track record shows 5 prior open-market sales with an average 90-day return of +8.2%, and a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%—meaning those sales occurred before subsequent stock gains rather than declines. At the same ticker, his 2 prior transactions (both August 2024 sales) were similarly poorly-timed, with the stock advancing 8.1% over 90 days after each sale. The company's fundamentals remain solid with net income of $214,000,000 and a P/E of 16.13, suggesting no distress. This buy emerges against a backdrop of persistent poorly-timed historical selling activity by the same insider, warranting investor scrutiny regarding whether this accumulation reflects a contrarian opportunity or a misjudgment of valuation.

President/CIO Pietrzak buys 10,000 FSK shares at $15.15; holds $151,500 total; prior 5 buys timed well at 90d.

Daniel Pietrzak, President and CIO, purchased 10,000 shares at $15.15 on 2025-11-07, increasing his holdings by 20.1% to 59,800 shares. His prior 5 transactions at FSK show a strong timing pattern—4 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with cumulative 90-day returns of +6.3%, +8.3%, +7.4%, +7.2%, and -2.2% respectively. His cross-ticker track record across all open-market buys averages +5.4% at 90 days with an 80% win rate. Current price at $15.37 sits 8.6% above the 30-day prior level, though the stock remains 36.1% below its 52-week high of $24.06, presenting a valuation context against which to assess the executive's conviction in the purchase. The historical pattern of this executive's buy timing at FSK warrants attention to whether this latest purchase follows the same disciplined positioning that characterized prior acquisitions.

Director Hopkins buys 330 FSK shares at $18.12; stock down 24.6% from 52-week high, -10.4% in 30 days.

Hopkins Jerel A purchased 330 shares of FS KKR Capital Corp at $18.12, a modest incremental addition to his 9.4K-share position. The purchase occurs as FSK trades down 24.6% from its 52-week high of $24.06 and has declined 10.4% over the prior 30 days, suggesting the transaction took place during a period of price weakness. His prior FSK purchases have yielded mixed outcomes—only 1 of 5 prior trades was well-timed at the 90-day mark. Most critically, the company is unprofitable with net income of -$209.0M, a material concern that undermines the investment thesis regardless of technical positioning. The buy occurs in a fundamentally challenged context and lacks strong historical precedent for value creation at this security.

Director Adams Barbara buys 3,750 shares of FSK at $17.52; stock down 26.2% from 52-week high, holdings up 14.6%

Barbara Adams, a director of FS KKR Capital Corp, purchased 3,750 shares at $17.52 on 2025-08-15, increasing her holdings from 25,702 shares to 29,452 shares (a 14.6% increase). The transaction occurs with FSK trading 26.2% below its 52-week high of $24.06 and down 19.5% over the prior 30 days. However, this purchase follows a pattern that warrants caution: Adams' only prior purchase at FSK (2024-05-15) was followed by negative 90-day returns of -3.9%, and her cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% win rate on buys with an average 90-day return of -3.9%. Additionally, the company reported a net loss of $209.0M, which raises questions about fundamental health despite the apparent valuation discount. The timing of this purchase in a down period, combined with the insider's historical underperformance on FSK and broader buying patterns, does not clearly support a narrative of conviction-driven accumulation.

Director Hopkins buys 700 shares of FSK at $21.24; stock down 12.3% from 52-week high of $24.06

Director Jerel A Hopkins purchased 700 shares of FS KKR Capital Corp at $21.24, increasing holdings from 8,654 to 9,354 shares—an 8.1% increase in position size. The transaction occurs with the stock trading 12.3% below its 52-week high and having declined 7.5% over the prior 90 days, though it has risen 5.6% in the last 30 days. Hopkins' prior four open-market purchases across all tickers averaged negative 90-day returns of -1.2% with a 25% win rate, while his four prior FSK trades at this same ticker show mixed outcomes: 1 of 4 buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The fundamentals show a P/E of 11.10 against net income of $120,000,000.00 and market cap of $5,906,601,071.97. This represents a modest absolute acquisition rather than a material accumulation, set against a track record of inconsistent timing.

Director Hopkins bought 500 FSK shares at $21.46; cluster activity detected with 3 other insiders buying in past 14 days.

Director Jerel A Hopkins purchased 500 shares of FS KKR Capital Corp on 2024-12-06 at $21.46, increasing his holdings from 8,142 to 8,642 shares. The transaction arrives amid a broader cluster, with 3 other insiders also purchasing within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated board-level confidence in the valuation. However, Hopkins' own historical performance at this ticker is a constraint on conviction signal: his prior 3 buys at FSK posted a 0.00% 90-day win rate, with negative average 90-day returns of -2.8% across his cross-ticker activity. The stock trades at $21.45 today, -3.5% from its 52-week high of $22.22, having gained 11.2% over 90 days and 1.8% over 30 days. The company carries a P/E of 11.35 with net income of $160,000,000.00 and a market cap of $6,007,424,987.85, suggesting a mature, dividend-focused closed-end fund structure typical of FS KKR's business model.

FSK Co-President Pietrzak buys 5,000 shares at $21.31; 3 other insiders bought within 14 days—cluster pattern emerges.

Co-President and CIO Daniel Pietrzak purchased 5,000 shares of FS KKR Capital Corp at $21.31, increasing his holdings to 49,800 shares—an 11.2% position increase. This transaction is noteworthy because it is part of a cluster: 3 other insiders have also made purchases within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated confidence in the company's near-term prospects. Pietrzak's own track record at FSK shows strong execution timing: of his 4 prior buys at this ticker, 3 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with two purchases on 2024-02-28 and 2024-08-08 each returning +1.6% to +4.2% in 30 days and +7.2% to +8.3% over 90 days. The current price of $21.54 sits -3.1% from the 52-week high of $22.22, suggesting the company is trading near its recent peak; the 11.40 P/E and $160.0M net income provide a baseline for valuation assessment. The coincidence of multiple insider purchases within a short window is the key signal for investor attention.
