What Is This Lawsuit About? The lawsuit alleges Lincoln made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) the Company’s admissions process was not effectively converting students from enrollment to start; and (ii) as a result, the Company was experiencing a significant drop in student starts relative to enrollment.

On August 10, 2026, Lincoln reported its second quarter 2026 financial results, revealing that student starts increased by only 1% year-over-year, despite enrollment growing 9%, “as fewer enrolled students than expected attended the first day of class.” On this news, the price of Lincoln shares declined by $10.22 per share, or approximately 24.93%, from $40.99 per share on August 7, 2026 to close at $30.77 on August 10, 2026.

The Lead Plaintiff Appointment Process. The federal securities laws permit any investor who acquired eligible securities during the class period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit. Courts do not consider lead plaintiff applications submitted after the relevant deadline. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member. Learn more about the lead plaintiff process and eligibility requirements here. Courts typically appoint the investor(s) with the largest financial loss in the case and the ability to represent the class rather than investors with simply the largest investment portfolio. Courts regularly appoint individual investors, whether acting alone or as a group, as lead plaintiffs. The rights of any investor who bought shares during the class period are generally already protected. However, lead plaintiffs have the power to influence case strategy and have a say in settlement decisions, as well as decisions concerning allocation of settlement funds among class members.
