On the filings behind it, Lincoln Educational Services Corporation earns 4.4 out of 10 for business quality as of October 17, 2026. That is mixed quality on our scale. A mixed reading means the strengths and weaknesses roughly cancel out, and the case for the business depends on which pillars you care about most. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Set against 71 Consumer Staples companies, Lincoln Educational Services Corporation lands at the 21st percentile, in the bottom quarter of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.8, and the best quarter starts from 6.8. Lincoln Educational Services Corporation is below that typical reading.
On profitability, Lincoln Educational Services Corporation scores 3.2, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.7 across 71 Consumer Staples companies, which places it well below them, at the 29th percentile. A low reading here is the first thing to explain: it is the pillar most closely tied to whether the business creates value at all.
Solvency scores 8.1 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 65 Consumer Staples companies is 6.9, so Lincoln Educational Services Corporation is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 77th percentile. A high solvency score means leverage is modest relative to earnings and cash flow, which gives management room to act in a bad year.
Growth scores 4.1 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 67 Consumer Staples companies is 4.0, so Lincoln Educational Services Corporation is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 53rd percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
On efficiency, Lincoln Educational Services Corporation scores 3.6, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 68 Consumer Staples companies, which places it well below them, at the 7th percentile. Poor conversion of assets and earnings into cash can come from heavy investment phases, and it matters whether that investment is paying off.
Predictability scores 3.1 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 71 Consumer Staples companies is 6.1, so Lincoln Educational Services Corporation is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 10th percentile. A low predictability score often belongs to cyclical businesses, where good and bad years alternate with the economy or with commodity prices.
This is a lopsided profile. Solvency scores 8.1 but predictability only 3.1, a gap of 5.0 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A solvency lead means the balance sheet is the company’s strongest asset, a cushion that buys time when trading gets harder. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.
Of everything that could lift Lincoln Educational Services Corporation’s score, predictability matters most. Bringing it up to the 6.1 median of Consumer Staples companies would take the overall from 4.4 to roughly 5.0. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.
