Significance 7/10

StepStone CEO Hart Scott W sold entire 10,000-share holding (100.0%) for $725,176.32 across 2 transactions on 2026-01-26.

Hart Scott W, Chief Executive Officer of StepStone Group Inc., liquidated his complete equity stake in the company through 2 separate sales on 2026-01-26, selling 4,616 shares at $71.99 and 5,384 shares at $72.97, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 0 shares from 10,000 shares pre-transaction (net change: -100.0%). The blended average sale price of $72.52 sits near the current price of $73.19 and within the 52-week range of $42.46–$76.27, representing -4.0% from the 52-week high. Notably, Hart's prior 5 trades at StepStone show a timing pattern of 0 of 3 measurable 90-day outcomes being well-timed (the two most recent sells from December and November 2025 do not yet have measurable 90-day outcomes). The company reported a net loss of $-366,142,000.00 on revenue of $454,225,000.00 in its latest quarter, indicating significant profitability challenges despite strong 65.1% annual revenue growth. A CEO's complete exit from company equity warrants close examination, particularly given the company's unprofitable operating position and the near-total concentration loss by the firm's top executive.

Significance 6/10

CEO Hart Scott W sold 10,000 STEP shares at $66.17 (Dec 26), reducing stake 50%; company unprofitable with $-366.1M annual net income despite 65.1% revenue growth.

CEO Hart Scott W sold exactly half his StepStone holdings (10,000 of 20,000 shares) for $661,700, executed near the 52-week high ($67.82). His cross-ticker track record shows 17 prior sells with a 90d well-timed rate of 66.67%, but at STEP specifically, only 1 of 3 measurable 90-day outcomes was well-timed (negative return), suggesting inconsistent execution timing on this particular stock. The company remains unprofitable with net income of $-366.1M on annual revenue of $454.2M, despite strong 65.1% revenue growth—a growth-at-scale profitability challenge typical of high-growth asset-management firms. The sale occurs amid recent quarterly results showing this structural imbalance, warranting investor scrutiny of margin trajectory and path to profitability.

Significance 5/10

CEO Hart Scott W sold 10,000 STEP shares at $61.70 (33.3% of holdings) on 2025-11-25 for $617.0K

Hart Scott W, Chief Executive Officer, sold 10,000 shares (33.3% reduction in holdings from 30,000 to 20,000 shares) at $61.70 per share on 2025-11-25. His cross-ticker track record shows 16 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 76.92%, indicating historically favorable timing; however, his same-ticker history at STEP is more mixed, with 1 of 2 prior measurable sells being well-timed at the 90-day mark. Fundamentally, StepStone Group generated $454.2M in quarterly revenue with annual growth of 65.1%, but the company was unprofitable with a net loss of $-366.1M in its most recent full fiscal year. The sale occurs at $61.70, approximately 7.7% below the 52-week high of $67.82, and the stock has declined 3.0% over 30 days and 0.4% over 90 days.

$643,400
Significance 5/10

CEO Hart Scott W sold 10,000 STEP shares at $64.34; stock now $62.51 (-9.8% from 52-week high)

CEO Hart Scott W sold 10,000 shares (30.0K shares remaining, -25.0% of pre-transaction holdings) at $64.34, reducing his stake meaningfully. The sale occurred at a price 3% above current levels ($62.51), yet near the upper end of recent trading; the stock has declined 6.1% over the past 30 days and is 9.8% below its 52-week high. At the same ticker, Scott's prior measurable outcomes show mixed results: his 2 completed 90-day windows produced 1 modestly positive return (+2.2%) and 1 modestly positive return (+4.4%), with neither outcome indicating a pattern of well-timed exits. Operationally, StepStone reported $364.3M in quarterly revenue with +65.1% annual growth, but the company remains unprofitable (net income of -$38.4M over the latest full fiscal year), which may contextualize executive liquidity actions amid strong top-line growth but current negative bottom-line results.

Significance 5/10

CEO Hart Scott W sells 10,000 shares (20% of holdings) at $64.70 avg; stock up 7.3% in 30 days, but company unprofitable.

CEO Hart Scott W executed 2 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $646,990.16 at a blended average price of $64.70, reducing his position from 50,000 to 40,000 shares (-20.0% of pre-transaction holdings). The timing occurs as STEP trades at $66.60, up 7.3% over 30 days and +20.1% over 90 days, suggesting the stock has gained momentum post-sale. At the same-ticker level, Hart's prior 5 trades at STEP show mixed outcomes: 1 of 2 measurable 90-day outcomes was well-timed (the May 23 sale preceded a -2.2% decline), but recent sales in August and July have occurred before gains (+6.2% and +0.7% respectively). The company reported $364.3M in latest-quarter revenue (+65.1% annual growth) but remains unprofitable with net income of $-38.4M, creating tension between growth momentum and fundamental losses. The 20% reduction in CEO holdings merits attention given the unprofitable status, though the stock's recent strength and the CEO's history of mixed timing at this ticker provide limited clarity on directional conviction.

CEO Hart Scott W sold 10,000 STEP shares at $61.44; holds 50,000 post-sale in unprofitable company with +65.1% revenue growth

CEO Hart Scott W sold 10,000 shares (10.0K shares) at $61.44 on 2025-08-25, reducing his position to 50,000 shares (50.0K shares), representing a -16.7% reduction. StepStone remains unprofitable despite strong annual revenue growth of +65.1%, with the latest quarter showing net income of $-38,424,000.00 ($-38.4M). His cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 90.00% across 12 prior sells, though at this same ticker (STEP), only 2 of 3 measurable prior 90-day outcomes were well-timed, suggesting mixed predictive power at this specific name. The sale occurred at $61.44 while the stock currently trades at $62.64, just -9.6% from the 52-week high, providing context on valuation at the time of the insider's decision to reduce exposure.

Significance 6/10

StepStone CEO Hart Scott W sold 10,000 shares at $61.28; latest quarter shows -$192.0M net income despite +65.1% revenue growth.

Hart Scott W, as CEO, sold 10,000 shares of StepStone Group (STEP) at $61.28 on 2025-07-25, reducing holdings by 14.3% from 70,000 to 60,000 shares. This sale occurs in a context where the company generated $339.0M in quarterly revenue but posted a -$192.0M net loss, and the company remains unprofitable on a full-year basis despite posting +65.1% annual revenue growth. At the STEP ticker specifically, Hart has executed 5 prior sales, with 2 of the 2 measurable 90-day outcomes showing negative returns (well-timed selling). The stock has risen +22.5% over 90 days from the transaction date, but remains -10.7% from its 52-week high of $69.32. The concentration of sales activity in recent months (three sales within a 10-day window in July and May) warrants scrutiny of execution pace relative to company fundamentals.

Significance 6/10

CEO Hart Scott W sells 10,000 STEP shares at $60.29; stock up +11.3% in 30 days but down -13.5% from 52-week high. Company unprofitable.

Hart Scott W, StepStone Group's CEO, sold 10,000 shares at $60.29 on 2025-07-10, reducing his holdings by 12.5% from 80,000 to 70,000 shares. His prior sales at STEP have consistently delivered negative 90-day returns (ranging from -7.8% to -10.4%), with 3 of 3 measurable outcomes showing declines after the sale. The current stock price of $59.97 is 13.5% below the 52-week high of $69.32, suggesting his recent prior May sales preceded a substantial pullback. However, the 30-day return of +11.3% and 90-day return of +25.4% indicate recent recovery momentum. The company generated $339.0M in revenue with +65.1% annual growth but remains unprofitable (net income of $-192.0M), creating uncertainty about whether current valuation gains are sustainable.

CEO Hart Scott W sold 29,100 shares ($1.7M) at $60.06 in 2 separate sales; holdings reduced 26.7%; his prior STEP trades 100% well-timed at 90-day mark.

Chief Executive Officer Hart Scott W executed 2 separate sales totaling 29,100 shares for $1,747,675.85 at a blended average price of $60.06, reducing his holdings by 26.7% from 109,100 to 80,000 shares. His prior trades at StepStone Group (5 transactions) achieved a 100% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, with all 5 prior sells followed by negative 90-day returns (-3.9% to -14.2%). The company posted a $-192,015,000.00 net loss over its most recent full fiscal year despite 65.1% annual revenue growth, leaving it unprofitable. This concentrated selling against a backdrop of consistent historical accuracy in downside timing and current fundamental losses merits investor attention.

STEP CEO Hart Scott W sold 10,000 shares for $614.3K at avg $61.43, retains 110.0K shares; stock down 8.0% in 30 days.

Hart Scott W, Chief Executive Officer, executed 3 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $614,270.34 at a blended average price of $61.43 on 2025-02-20, reducing his holdings from 120,000 to 110.0K shares. The stock currently trades at $58.59, down 8.0% over the past 30 days and -15.5% from its 52-week high of $69.32. His prior transaction history at STEP shows 5 recent sales (December 2024) with mixed near-term outcomes: 30-day returns ranged from -3.9% to -9.5%, though none have completed a measurable 90-day window yet. Notably, the company reported a net loss of $-192.0M in the latest quarter against revenue of $339.0M, and the valuation stands at a P/E of 64.38. The CEO's sustained selling activity into a weakening stock price warrants investor attention to underlying operational context.
