The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +100.0% while the share price moved +5.5%. ## What is the Lincoln Educational Services share price today? Lincoln Educational Services Corporation's share price was $20.49 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 42.8% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $18 and $54, and at that close it sat 7% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 15 weeks running. Over the last 1 year the share price moved −10% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 24 July 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Lincoln Educational Services pay? Lincoln Educational Services Corporation pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Lincoln Educational Services on? Lincoln Educational Services is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Lincoln Educational Services profitable? Lincoln Educational Services Corporation earned $1.9 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +25.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $20.0 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −6.4% a year on average. That is 1.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.6 M. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $20.0 M (+102.2% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +22.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +57.8% and revenue +22.0%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Lincoln Educational Services make, and is it growing? Lincoln Educational Services Corporation reported $143 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +22.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 11.5% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $518 M. The last four reported quarters add to $571 M. FY25 revenue was $518 M, +17.8% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +22.0% on average, against 11.5% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +22.0%, against +18.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +59.6%, against +69.2% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Lincoln Educational Services keep? Lincoln Educational Services Corporation's operating margin was 2.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, about the same as the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 0.0% and 5.6%. The latest quarter is within that range. Across 5 years it has been between 0.0% and 5.6%, and FY25's 5.6% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.0 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.6 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead. ## Is Lincoln Educational Services' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 204% of Lincoln Educational Services Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $59.3 M of operating cash against $20.0 M of profit. After $86.6 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$27.3 M: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Lincoln Educational Services' cash go? Lincoln Educational Services Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $184 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 11.8% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $184 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Lincoln Educational Services' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Lincoln Educational Services Corporation's P/E is 28.1×, about the lowest it has ever been. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 49.4×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +100.0% while the price moved +5.5%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Lincoln Educational Services business getting better or worse? Lincoln Educational Services Corporation's business is giving mixed signals. Growth is slowing from a very fast pace: profit growth has eased from +183.1% at its peak to +59.6%, but the business is still expanding, with ROCE steady at 6.9%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Lincoln Educational Services earn on its capital? Lincoln Educational Services Corporation earned a ROE of 10% in FY25. That is up from a low of 6% in FY24. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 0.3 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 3.9% net margin and 1.05× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 3.9% net margin × 1.05× asset turnover × 2.47× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 10.1% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 6.6% − 6.9% = −0.3 percentage points. The 6.9% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Lincoln Educational Services have too much debt? Lincoln Educational Services Corporation has total debt of $228 M against shareholder equity of $202 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.13× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.69 in FY21 to 1.02 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Lincoln Educational Services shareholding pattern? 7.0% of Lincoln Educational Services Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.0 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Lincoln Educational Services from balance-sheet trouble? For Lincoln Educational Services Corporation, the Z-score is 3.28. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 3.28 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Lincoln Educational Services rank in its industry? 39.8 out of 100, rank 15 of 20 in Education & Training Services, with 81% of the evidence available. Lincoln Educational Services Corporation scores 39.8 out of 100 against the 20 companies it is compared with in Education & Training Services, ranking 15. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 22.5 + 6.5 + 9.7 + 1.1 = 39.8. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Lincoln Educational Services compared with? Lincoln Educational Services ranks 15 of 20 Education & Training Services companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 39.8 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
