  "summary": "Lincoln Educational Services (LINC) reported a 14.2% increase in student starts during the third quarter of 2026, driven by improved marketing lead conversion rates and higher digital customer acquisition costs. The company is deploying a specialized focus campus model in Suitland, Maryland, targeting data center technicians, which is expected to reduce initial capital expenditures to $10 million for the campus, compared to $25 million for traditional locations. With $135.6 million in total liquidity and a share buyback program extended through May 2028, Lincoln Educational Services is positioning its infrastructure for long-term growth and aims to achieve financial objectives of approximately $850 million in revenue and $150 million in EBITDA by 2030.",
