FS KKR Capital Corp. Investors Alerted About Class Action Lawsuit

Levi & Korsinsky, a well-known law firm, is drawing attention to an ongoing class action lawsuit involving FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE: FSK). This notice serves to remind investors of a significant lead plaintiff deadline set for July 6, 2026. The lawsuit emerges from concerns regarding the adequacy of the company’s risk disclosures, particularly during a period marked by a notable decline in stock value.

As per the firm’s findings, investors faced a substantial loss of $2.03 per share when the realities of FS KKR’s portfolio valuations came to light. This unfortunate situation unfolded following an announcement on February 25, 2026, when the company's non-accrual rate was revealed to have risen significantly, raising alarms about the company's financial health.

Background of the Lawsuit

On February 26, 2026, FS KKR saw its shares plummet by 15.24%, resulting in a closing value of $11.29, primarily due to the revelation that the non-accrual rate had increased to 5.5% – a figure that exceeds the long-term average for Business Development Companies (BDC) of 3.8%. Additional concerns arose when the firm announced a cut in its quarterly dividend from $0.70 to $0.48 per share, prompting many investors to reconsider their investment decisions.

Throughout the class period from May 8, 2024, to February 25, 2026, FS KKR’s annual and quarterly filings contained generic risk statements. These warnings utilized vague language regarding fair value assessments, which many believe fell short of adequately informing investors about the problems already emerging within its portfolio.

What the Lawsuit Claims

The crux of the securities action contends that FS KKR's disclosures failed to address specific and already known issues affecting its portfolios, instead presenting a glossed-over version of operational realities. It is alleged that:

• - The non-accrual percentage had climbed from 3.5% in Q1 2025 to 5.5% by Q4 2025.
• - The total fair value of investments fell dramatically, by $474 million in Q2 2025 and by another $406 million in Q4 2025.
• - The company’s management depicted its dividends as stable despite the deteriorating conditions of the underlying income-generating portfolio.

Joseph E. Levi, Esq., the managing partner at the firm, highlighted this troubling discrepancy in their disclosures, emphasizing that investors deserve transparency regarding credit deterioration that exceeds standard industry benchmarks. The warning signs of distress in specific investments should have been made clear to affected investors.

Next Steps for Investors

Investors who purchased shares during the specified class period and suffered financial losses are encouraged to investigate their eligibility to join the lawsuit. Those who acted during the defined timeframe, regardless of whether they currently hold shares, may still reclaim losses incurred due to these alleged misrepresentations.
