What the filing says
Lincoln International, Inc. (NYSE: LCLN) reported Q2 2026 revenues of $225.7 million (+51% YoY) and adjusted net income of $28.7 million ($0.26 diluted EPS). This is the company's first quarterly report as a public company following its May 2026 IPO. The company used IPO proceeds to repay $195.8 million of debt from the October 2025 MarshBerry acquisition; declared a $0.07/share dividend. Investment Banking Advisory revenues grew 56% to $177.7 million; Valuations and Opinions revenues grew 35% to $47.9 million. As of June 30, 2026, the company held $250.6 million cash and $101.9 million long-term debt (net cash $148.7 million).
Why this rating
Strong organic revenue growth and successful IPO debt paydown are positive. However, GAAP net income collapsed to $0.5M (vs $33.8M prior year) due to $28.7M non-recurring IPO equity expense. Adjusted metrics show healthy underlying business. Relative to inferred market-cap scale (~$1-2B post-IPO), this is solid but ordinary quarterly performance with material one-time IPO costs masking operating trends.
