Significance 5

SVP General Counsel Alexandra M Luster sold 18,007 shares of LINC at $44.64, reducing holdings 17.9% to 82,356 shares ($803.8K total).

Alexandra M Luster, SVP and General Counsel, sold 18,007 shares at $44.64 on 2026-06-15, reducing her holdings by 17.9% from 100,363 to 82,356 shares. The sale occurred with the stock at $44.80 current price and 16.3% below its 52-week high of $53.50. Over the trailing 30 days the stock declined 8.8%, while over 90 days it gained 13.4%, indicating recent volatility against the broader uptrend. The company's latest quarter showed revenue of $143,957,000.00 with net income of $4,356,000.00, supported by annual revenue growth of 17.8% year-over-year, though the elevated P/E of 63.10 reflects expectations of sustained profitability growth.

@ $47.12
Significance 5

Juniper Investment Company sold 48,812 shares at blended average $47.12 for $2.3M; stock down 8.8% in 30 days post-transaction.

Juniper Investment Company executed two separate sales totaling 48,812 shares for $2,300,101.35 on consecutive trading days (June 11–12, 2026), at prices of $47.87 and $46.88 respectively. The stock is currently trading at $44.80, down 8.8% over the 30 days following the transactions, placing it 16.3% below its 52-week high of $53.50. At the same-ticker level, Juniper's prior five trades at LINC show a 0 of 1 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark, with the most recent measurable outcome (February 25, 2026 sale) yielding a +41.7% 90-day return—meaning the stock rose after the sale, not fell. This pair of June sales represents a -2.7% reduction in Juniper's LINC position, leaving 1,732,966 shares outstanding. The near-term price decline following the June sales aligns with the temporal proximity of execution but lacks a clear data-driven pattern at this ticker supporting predictive insight.

@ $50.34
Significance 6

Juniper Investment Company sells 106,712 shares of LINC for $5,372,333.58 in 2 transactions at $50.10–$51.13

Juniper Investment Company executed 2 separate sales totaling 106,712 shares for $5,372,333.58 on 2026-06-03 and 2026-06-04, reducing holdings from 1,888,490 to 1,781,778 shares. The blended average sale price of $50.34 sits near the 52-week high of $53.50 and well above the current price of $48.46, suggesting favorable exit timing relative to recent price levels. At LINC specifically, this insider's prior 5 trades show a timing pattern of 3 well-timed sells at the 90-day mark, although the 2 most recent LINC sales (2026-05-15 and 2026-05-14) posted negative 30-day and 90-day returns of -5.0% and -7.0% respectively. With a P/E of 68.25 and annual revenue growth of +17.8%, the company's valuation remains elevated relative to earnings power, providing context for why sales near technical resistance may occur.

Significance 6

Juniper Investment Co. files 2 separate sales of 49,821 shares in LINC for $2,546,734.19 at blended avg $51.12, near 52-week high of $53.50.

Juniper Investment Company, LLC filed 2 separate sales totaling 49,821 shares for $2,546,734.19 — a sale of 47,836 shares at $51.16 on 2026-05-14 and a sale of 1,985 shares at $50.11 on 2026-05-15 — executed near the 52-week high of $53.50 following a +64.1% 90-day run in LINC's share price. Across Juniper's cross-ticker sell history, 17 prior sells show an avg 90-day return of +13.3% and a 90-day well-timed rate of 18.75%, indicating the stock has generally continued rising after the insider's past sales. At LINC specifically, 5 prior sales show a mixed record: the two sells on 2026-02-25 were followed by 90-day returns of +42.1% and +37.6%, while the three sells in December 2024 were followed by 90-day returns of -7.4%, -4.5%, and -0.1% respectively, with only 2 of 5 prior LINC sells considered well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current transaction comes after a period of strong price appreciation, with the stock now at $49.45 and the P/E at 69.65 against a market cap of $1,568,589,999.60.

CFO and Treasurer
40,070 shares
$2,002,699
@ $49.98
Significance 4

CFO Meyers sells 40,070 shares (roughly one-fifth of stake) for $2M, continuing six-trade selling pattern with mixed near-term but uniformly poor long-term timing.

CFO Brian Meyers has now sold shares six times in the past three years, and this $2M disposition is the latest in an unbroken selling streak. The stock has risen sharply recently and is trading near its 52-week high, suggesting Meyers may be taking advantage of current price strength to reduce his position. However, his track record selling this stock cuts both ways: at the 30-day horizon, about half his prior sales proved well-timed as the stock declined, but over longer periods all five of his previous exits were poorly timed—the stock consistently rose after he sold. If that pattern repeats, today's exit could prove costly. The company itself is profitable and growing revenue, which provides some fundamental support, but the stock's valuation is stretched and the CFO's persistent selling pressure, despite no offsetting purchases, suggests he may not be waiting around for further gains.

Significance 6

Juniper Investment Co sold 150,000 LINC shares at $35.67; stock rallied +38.9% in 30d to $37.02

Juniper Investment Company, LLC sold 150,000 shares of LINCOLN EDUCATIONAL SERVICES CORP at $35.67 on 2026-02-25, reducing holdings by 7.2% to 1,938,311 shares. The stock has since appreciated to $37.02 (current price), representing a +38.9% move in the 30 days following the sale. Across LINC specifically, the insider's prior 4 measurable sales showed a 50% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark—meaning half resulted in post-sale declines. The current rally, combined with the company's strong 90-day performance of +67.7% and P/E of 48.71 (elevated relative to earnings growth), suggests the insider sold into momentum. LINC's revenue growth of +17.8% annually appears solid, but the current stock price near its 52-week high leaves limited room for expansion.

Significance 7

Juniper Investment Company sold 275,000 shares of LINC at $34.55 on 2026-02-25 ($9.5M); retained 2.09M shares post-sale

Juniper Investment Company sold 275,000 shares (-11.6% of pre-transaction holdings) at $34.55, reducing its stake to 2,088,311 shares. The sale occurred within the stock's 52-week high range, after LINC appreciated 38.0% over 30 days and 76.1% over 90 days. The insider's cross-ticker track record shows 16 prior sells with a 21.43% well-timed rate and +9.5% average 90-day return, indicating prior sales have generally occurred before or during upward moves. At this specific ticker (LINC), the insider's prior 4 measurable sales showed mixed timing: 2 of 4 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with outcomes ranging from -7.4% to +8.2%. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $141.4M, net income of $3.8M, annual growth of +16.4%, and a P/E of 80.53, suggesting elevated valuation relative to earnings. The sale of a material position following a steep recent rally warrants observation of whether the stock sustains its gains or retreats.

Chairman John A. Bartholdson sells 113,440 shares (-75.6% of holdings) for $1,764,532.77 over 3 days

John A. Bartholdson, Chairman of Lincoln Educational Services Corp, executed 3 separate sales totaling 113,440 shares for $1,764,532.77 between March 10-12, 2025, at prices ranging from $15.47 to $15.61. This sale reduced his holdings from 150,000 shares to 36,560 shares, representing a 75.6% reduction in his position. The magnitude and speed of this disposition—over three consecutive trading days—represents a material reduction in the Chairman's equity stake in the company.

Chairman Bartholdson sold 275,544 shares for $5.0M at $18.17 blended avg, reducing holdings by 64.8%

Bartholdson executed two separate sales totaling 275,544 shares for $5,006,134.09, reducing his position from 425,544 shares to 150,000 shares—a 64.8% reduction in holdings. The sales occurred on 2025-02-28 at $18.09 and 2025-03-03 at $18.50, near the 52-week high of $18.55. However, the insider's cross-ticker track record across all tickers shows 5 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -14.6% and a 0.00% win rate, indicating a history of poorly-timed entries at this insider's typical buying activity. The current stock price of $17.72 is down 4.5% from the 52-week high and the company trades at a P/E of 55.38 despite posting recent revenue growth of 16.4% and quarterly net income of $4.0M. The magnitude and timing of this concentrated reduction in the chairman's direct ownership warrant examination of whether it reflects a shift in capital allocation priorities or broader confidence levels in the equity position.

Significance 6

10% owner Juniper Investment Company sells 137,116 shares across 3 trades for $2.2M at $16.15 avg; stock up 36.9% in 90 days

Juniper Investment Company, a 10% owner, executed 3 separate sales totaling 137,116 shares for $2,214,964.84 at a blended average price of $16.15 between December 5-9, 2024, reducing holdings by 24.4% from 562,660 to 425,544 shares. The divestiture occurs against a backdrop of strong recent momentum—the stock has risen 36.9% over the past 90 days and is trading at $16.09, only 4.8% below its 52-week high of $16.90. The seller's cross-ticker track record shows 12 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +14.2% and a 0% well-timed rate, suggesting a pattern of selling into strength rather than ahead of declines. While the company carries elevated valuation metrics (P/E of 51.90) relative to fundamentals ($114.4M quarterly revenue, $4.0M net income), the sale of such a large block from a 10% holder warrants attention regarding any forward signals about shareholder views on near-term prospects.
