Lincoln International announced that CEO Rob Brown is scheduled to participate in a fireside discussion at the 2026 BMO Financials Conference on November 10 at 8:45 a.m. ET. A live audio webcast will be available through the company’s Investor Relations website.
Why it matters — LCLN watchers can follow the scheduled conference discussion via the company’s webcast.

Lincoln International reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 results that exceeded expectations, with revenue rising 51% year over year, operating margins expanding, and record transaction fees, reflecting healthy M&A and valuation demand. The company's earnings were supported by strong private capital market activity, a robust deal backlog, and recent acquisitions.
Why it matters — A Lincoln International watcher would care because the earnings growth and record transaction fees point to sustained strength in deal activity and private market demand heading into the second half of fiscal 2026.
Lincoln International reported that its Lincoln Private Market Index increased by 1.9% in Q2 2026, recovering most of its 2.2% Q1 decline. The rebound was driven by EBITDA growth among U.S. privately held companies, which more than offset modest enterprise value multiple contraction, while software performance held steady and private capital markets showed greater differentiation.
Why it matters — The index serves as a key gauge of private market conditions tracked by the firm, so its quarterly rebound offers LCLN watchers a reference point on the health of the private company valuation environment.
