Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
EPS was negative in at least one boundary year, so a compound growth rate can't be computed from it. Set your own assumption.
- EPS in 5 years
- $0.95
- Implied price
- $35.14
- Return from $21.91
- 9.9% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $17.47 — -20.3% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 25 | 31 | 37 | 43 | 49 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.0% | -7.8% | -3.7% | -0.3% | 2.8% | 5.5% |
| 3.0% | -3.1% | 1.2% | 4.8% | 8.0% | 10.9% |
| 8.0% | 1.6% | 6.1% | 9.9% | 13.3% | 16.3% |
| 13.0% | 6.3% | 11.0% | 15.0% | 18.5% | 21.6% |
| 18.0% | 11.0% | 15.9% | 20.1% | 23.7% | 27.0% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

Lincoln Educational Services: An Opportunity To Learn About Buying On The Dip Lincoln Educational Services Corporation shares plunged 24.9% despite Q2 results beating estimates and management reaffirming long-term growth targets. Short-term concerns center on slower new student starts, driven by resumed federal loan repayments and AI-driven lead generation shifts. LINC maintains 2026 guidance: $590–$600M revenue, $76–$80M EBITDA, and 10%–14% student start growth, with 2030 targets unchanged.

51 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
