Alexander Paris has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Lincoln Educational Services’ strong financial performance and promising outlook. The company reported first-quarter results that exceeded expectations, with a notable 13.7% increase in revenue driven by a significant rise in student enrollment. This growth was accompanied by a substantial increase in adjusted EBITDA and net income, both of which surpassed estimates.
Furthermore, Lincoln Educational Services raised its full-year 2025 guidance, projecting higher revenue, EBITDA, and net income than previously anticipated. The company’s stock has shown impressive performance, and despite trading at a premium compared to its peer group, it remains at a discount to its closest competitor, Universal Technical Institute. This valuation, combined with the raised price target of $25, suggests a potential upside of approximately 23%, reinforcing the Buy rating.
In another report released today, Lake Street also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $21.00 price target.
