LINC Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Lincoln Educational Services Corp demonstrated strong financial growth, with fourth-quarter revenue climbing 16.4% year-over-year to $119.4 million, driven primarily by a 13.7% increase in average student enrollment and tuition hikes. For the full year, the company reported a 16% increase in revenue, supported by a 15% rise in student starts, highlighting a consistent demand for its educational programs. Additionally, the Campus Operations segment reported a noteworthy revenue increase of 17.2%, with projected revenue of $550 million and adjusted EBITDA of $90 million anticipated by 2027, showcasing substantial potential for future growth.
Bears say
Lincoln Educational Services Corp reported a 5.0% decline in adjusted net income to $9.5 million in the most recent quarter, coupled with a significant 20.6% drop in revenue to $0.4 million, signaling potential operational challenges despite favorable industry trends. The company's adjusted EBITDA remains under pressure with net income forecasts falling between $8-13 million, largely influenced by rising growth investments and depreciation expenses. Additionally, the company faces regulatory risks and heavy reliance on Title IV funding, which accounted for 81% of revenue, indicating vulnerability to potential policy changes impacting the for-profit education sector.
