Frequently asked questions
Is LINC growing its revenue and profit?
Over the past 5 years, Lincoln Educational Services Corp's revenue has grown 12.1% per year, and net income declined 16.3% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.
How much debt does LINC have?
As of FY2025, Lincoln Educational Services Corp reported $0 of total debt against $29M of cash; operating income covered interest expense 8.9×.
What is LINC's profit margin?
In FY2025, gross margin was 60.4%, operating margin 5.8%, and net margin 3.9%.
What is LINC's P/E ratio?
Lincoln Educational Services Corp's P/E (TTM) is 27.96 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the LINC stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 31.9× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.
Where does this data come from?
All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.

growth rates, valuation multiples & ratios computed by tradmap. Valuation uses each month-end price
against the latest annual filing. Informational only — not investment advice.
