StepStone Group Inc. (STEP) shares ended the last trading session 14.8% higher at $48.74. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 16.6% loss over the past four weeks.

StepStone experienced a significant share price rise following the Trump administration’s announcement of a temporary halt of 90 days on reciprocal tariffs for most countries.  Besides, STEP leverages its global scale with local teams, multi-asset class expertise, and proprietary data platforms to offer full-service, customized solutions. Its strong client relationships, seasoned professionals and data-driven approach enhance investment performance. The firm benefits from diversified revenue streams, high client retention and scalable operations, positioning it well for sustained growth and market leadership.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.47 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +42.4%. Revenues are expected to be $237.41 million, down 33.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For StepStone Group, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on STEP going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
