While Wall Street dances in an “everything rally” with stocks breaking record highs daily, gold glittering near $4,000 an ounce and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) soaring past $125,000, private equity stocks are the only ones not invited to the party, stumbling instead of soaring.
The S&P 500 topped 6,800 and the Nasdaq 100 surged past 25,000, up 14% and 20% year-to-date, yet private equity leaders like Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX), Apollo Global Management Inc. (NYSE:APO) and KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) have tumbled double digits in less than two weeks.
