AlphaMadera's AlphaVal page computes Lincoln Educational Services Corporation's fair value using a multi-method blend (DCF, comparable-multiples, and Graham-style intrinsic value), then compares it to the current market price to flag LINC as undervalued, fairly valued, or overvalued.

What is Lincoln Educational Services Corporation's fair value?

Plain-Language Summary

Our base-case estimate uses a valuation based on adjusted earnings per share and a normalized price-to-earnings multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $47.60 from 15 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $21.88 per share.

Warnings

ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $47.60 (from 15 analysts). Our estimate is 72% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.

Key Risks

Growth DCF inappropriate — terminal value assumptions dominate
EV/EBITDA misleading for regulated businesses where capex is mandated
