StepStone (STEP) Q1 AUM Jumps 18%

StepStone Group (NASDAQ:STEP), a global private markets investment manager, reported results for its fiscal first quarter of 2026 on August 7, 2025. StepStone missed key analyst expectations, posting adjusted net income per share (non-GAAP) of $0.40, below the $0.52 consensus estimate. Even with strong gains in recurring fee revenue and continued growth in assets under management, both non-GAAP earnings and revenues fell short of market expectations. Performance fee revenue (non-GAAP) saw notable declines, reflecting a less favorable environment for one-time income streams after record levels in the prior quarter. Overall, the quarter highlighted continued long-term expansion but also revealed near-term margin pressures and volatility in realized performance fees.
