Revenue growth
A company’s long-term revenue performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones sustain growth for years. Hamilton Lane’s revenue grew at a strong 19.2% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth surpassed the average financials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.
Long-term growth matters most, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns and industry trends. Hamilton Lane’s annualized revenue growth of 15.9% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but the results still suggest healthy demand.
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
This quarter, Hamilton Lane’s revenue grew by 7.1% year on year to $204.4 million, missing Wall Street’s consensus estimates.
