Lincoln Educational Services Price Target Raised by Rosenblatt on Growth Outlook

Rosenblatt raised its price target on Lincoln Educational Services (NASDAQ: LINC) to $45 from $39, while maintaining a Buy rating, citing strong near-term momentum and favorable long-term industry dynamics.

The firm said insights from the company’s analyst day highlighted both current performance strength and long-term growth potential, supported by structural tailwinds.

Rosenblatt expects the company to achieve approximately 10% revenue growth alongside margin expansion, driven by demographic trends such as the aging workforce and increasing interest among high school graduates in trade school education.

The firm raised its valuation to reflect Lincoln’s continued execution and the significant earnings expansion implied by management’s long-term targets.

The $45 price target is based on a 15x enterprise value to estimated 2027 EBITDA multiple, representing a premium to peers due to strong demand for skilled trades and the company’s consistent execution track record.
