KKR Phoenix Aggregator LP liquidates entire 14.67M BTSG stake (14,669,771 shares) for $857.5M at $58.45 on 2026-06-05
KKR Phoenix Aggregator LP, a 10% owner, completely exited its BrightSpring position by selling 14,669,771 shares (14.67M shares) for $857,492,124.26 ($857.5M) at $58.45, reducing holdings from 14,669,771 shares to 0 shares (-100.0%). The sale occurs with BTSG trading at $57.40 currently, down 7.6% from its 52-week high of $62.11, though up 8.8% over 30 days and 38.4% over 90 days. Examining KKR's prior BTSG trades reveals a mixed pattern: a buy on 2024-09-11 that returned +36.2% (30-day) and +64.1% (90-day), but four subsequent sells at BTSG in which only 1 of 5 prior trades was well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the three most recent sales in 2025–2026 followed by positive 90-day returns (+30.5%, +32.8%, +44.9%, +20.2%), indicating the stock rose after those exits. The complete liquidation, combined with BTSG's strong revenue growth of +14.6% year-over-year and net income of $148,767,000 ($148.8M) on $3,613,721,000 revenue, eliminates KKR's significant strategic ownership stake in a healthcare operator trading at a P/E of 35.88.
