The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules” or “the Company”) (NYSE: HTGC) for violations of the securities laws.

The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. Hercules is the subject of a report published by Hunterbrook Media on February 27, 2026. According to the report, the Company marks software debt "at 100 cents on the dollar" despite “billions worth of [software] debt across the industry falling into distressed territory" in early 2026. The report continues, “about 35% of the value of the company’s loan portfolio — roughly $1.5 billion — is in software debt.” Based on this news, shares of Hercules fell by 7.9% on the same day.
