| Measure | 3 months toSep 30, 2026 | 3 months toSep 30, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $159.2M | $141.4M | +12.58% |
| Profit | $4.7M | $3.8M | +24.14% |
| Profit per share | $0.15 | $0.12 | +25.00% |
| Free Cash Flow | -$3.4M | $2M | -265.24% |
These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.
Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation reported on November 9, 2026. We are fetching the call transcript; its summary follows once the transcript is in.
“During the third quarter, we generated double-digit growth across all our key metrics, highlighted by our 14.2% increase in student starts”
Quoted verbatim from the release, and shown only when the filing attributes it to a named person.
Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
The quote and the company description come from Lincoln Educational Services Corporation’s Item 2.02 8-K filed November 9, 2026; the table is built from its quarterly reports. Read the release on EDGAR Share prices are split- and dividend-adjusted.
