On June 11, 2026, Rogers acquired a total of 38,290 shares of Hamilton Lane's Class A Common Stock for approximately $3,005,339. The transactions were executed at weighted average prices ranging from $77.86 to $78.73 per share. This insider buying activity arrives as Hamilton Lane shares have experienced a significant decline of roughly 37% over the past six months. The stock is currently trading at $82, a considerable distance from its 52-week high of $161. According to analysis from InvestingPro, the current valuation suggests the stock may be undervalued, placing it among opportunities on their list of most undervalued stocks.
Mr. Rogers holds multiple roles within the company, serving as Executive Co-Chairman and a Director. He is also a member of a group that beneficially owns more than 10% of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock. The recent purchases were structured as two direct acquisitions of Class A Common Stock. The first transaction involved the acquisition of 10,612 shares at a weighted average price of $77.86 per share, with individual share prices in that transaction ranging from $77.54 to $78.45. The second acquisition consisted of 27,678 shares at a weighted average price of $78.73 per share, with individual share prices ranging from $78.55 to $79.13. Following these transactions, Mr. Rogers directly holds 93,756 shares of Class A Common Stock.
Beyond his direct holdings, Mr. Rogers maintains substantial indirect ownership of Hamilton Lane securities. He holds 55,466 shares of Class A Common Stock through a limited liability company that is wholly owned by him, his spouse, and three trusts established for his children. His spouse manages the LLC and serves as the trustee for the trusts, while Mr. Rogers disclaims beneficial ownership over these shares except for his pecuniary interest. Furthermore, Mr. Rogers indirectly holds 6,510,922 shares of Class B Common Stock through HLA Investments LLC, where he acts as the manager of the managing member. Class B Common Stock carries significant voting power with ten votes per share but has limited economic value beyond par value upon liquidation or exchange. These Class B shares correspond to an equal number of Class B Units of HLA, which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A Common Stock or cash, at the Issuer's discretion, and do not have an expiration date. Mr. Rogers also disclaims beneficial ownership over these Class B securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.
The insider transaction coincides with Hamilton Lane's recent financial reporting for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. The company reported earnings per share of $1.49, which exceeded the forecasted $1.40 by 6.43%. Despite this positive earnings performance, the company experienced a revenue shortfall, reporting $193.6 million against an expected $204.06 million, resulting in a negative surprise of 5.13%. Analyst firm Keefe, Bruyette & Woods responded by lowering its price target for Hamilton Lane from $120 to $115, citing lower performance fees that led to the revenue miss. BMO Capital also adjusted its price target from $108 to $102, while maintaining an Outperform rating, noting the company's adjusted net income of $1.49 per share and fee-related earnings of $1.65 per share, both of which exceeded consensus estimates. These developments highlight the mixed financial performance of Hamilton Lane, with strong earnings but weaker-than-expected revenue.
