Head of Strategy purchases 120,000 STEP shares for $5,022,072.49; holdings jump 38.3% amid stock decline from 52-week highs.
Michael I McCabe, Head of Strategy at StepStone Group Inc., executed 2 separate purchases on 2026-06-11 totaling 120,000 shares for $5,022,072.49 at a blended average price of $41.85—a material 38.3% increase to his shareholding from 313,178 to 433,178 shares. This acquisition occurs while the stock trades at $42.52, down 45.4% from its 52-week high of $77.80 and down 24.3% over the past 30 days, signaling a substantial accumulation during a period of significant stock weakness. StepStone remains unprofitable with net income of $-123,451,000.00 in its most recent full fiscal year, though it reported 69.7% annual revenue growth (to $586,511,000.00 in latest quarter), presenting a company in scale-up mode with near-term losses. McCabe's same-ticker trading history shows 5 prior transactions at STEP, predominantly sales (3 of which on the same date in December 2025), with mixed timing outcomes; this buy-side entry into depressed valuation warrants attention to whether fundamentals justify his conviction or whether execution constraints persist.
