Webinar | Valuations & Opinions Group Q3 2026 Private Market Webinar

On August 13th, 2026, Lincoln International hosted a webinar featuring expert perspectives on the trends shaping private equity and private credit markets, with insights into fundamental performance of portfolio companies, recent buyout activity, credit conditions and the increasing amount of liquidity solutions for investors and general partners. Our professionals additionally shared a refreshed view on the software sector, drawing from the new Lincoln Lens portal, which encompasses 7,000+ portfolio company valuations and an incremental 2,500+ asset-backed finance investments, valued as of the second quarter of 2026.

Topics included:

• Portfolio Company Fundamentals: Are portfolio companies set up for growth—or a year of margin pressure?
• Buyout Activity: Recovery ahead, or do valuation gaps still exist with uncertain outlook?
• Software Sector: Has the software sector stabilized—or is the reset still underway after a volatile Q1 2026?
• Private Credit: Has the pendulum shifted back towards lenders in private credit? Are signs of distress and portfolio company foreclosures becoming a bigger risk in 2026?
• Liquidity Solutions: What are innovative liquidity tools as funds and investors look for flexibility? How should GPs think about fair value in secondary transactions?
