The complaint filed against Lincoln (NASDAQ: LINC) alleges that the company violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by misrepresenting the effectiveness of its admissions pipeline. While Lincoln touted its growth, the lawsuit claims the company failed to convert prospective leads into active students, resulting in a material discrepancy between enrollment figures and actual student starts. When these operational failures reached the market, the share price dropped, leaving investors with significant losses.

Shareholders have until November 10, 2026, to file a motion to serve as lead plaintiff. While the class has not yet been certified, those who incurred losses during the specified period may contact Brian Schall or David Schwartz at the Los Angeles-based firm to review their legal options. Participation in the lawsuit does not require an appointment as lead plaintiff, and investors may otherwise remain absent class members.
