A solid business, but screening 80% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($24.98). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (63/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Hamilton Lane Incorporated (HLNE) currently trades at $101.03, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $19.98, implying the stock looks roughly 80.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, Hamilton Lane Incorporated generated revenue of $759M at a net margin of 32.8%. Revenue declined 2.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 32.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $7.4M. Fundamentals as of Jul 7, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $14.99 (bear case) to $24.98 (bull case); at $101.03, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 36% below its 52-week high and 34% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -12% fair-value upside, at -80%, HLNE screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
