Lincoln Educational price target raised to $33 from $27 at B. Riley

B. Riley analyst Griffin Boss raised the firm’s price target on Lincoln Educational (LINC) to $33 from $27 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The Q4 results are expected to come in essentially in line with consensus and management guidance, with strong FY25 growth setting the stage for continued margin expansion into FY27, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm has confidence in Lincoln’s disciplined campus expansion strategy, proven underwriting, and the expectation that new greenfield campuses will continue to generate IRRs above the 20% hurdle, supporting sustained earnings growth.
