Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Fee-related earnings rose 30% in August 2026, showing operating leverage.
  • Infrastructure secondaries closed August 2026 at $1.7 billion across fund and separate accounts.
  • Institutional ownership reached 55.54%; RBC upgraded STEP on September 12, 2026.

What critics are saying

  • August 6, 2026 earnings missed EPS and revenue estimates; shares fell afterward.
  • The business still depends on fundraising; if inflows stall, fee growth slows sharply.
  • Shareholder-claims firms still target StepStone; governance fights can distract management through 2026.

What makes The Stepstone Group unique

  • StepStone’s 2026 scale spans $233 billion AUM and $652 billion AUA.
  • Its secondaries, co-investments, and credit platform diversify revenue beyond plain fund management.
  • SCOF II closed April 2026 with $1.58 billion, proving institutional fundraising power.
