- Wednesday, June 19, 9:32 AM LinkedIn (LNKD) could be the latest social networking platform to receive tight iOS integration: code found in the first iOS 7 beta release suggest Apple is testing a single sign-on system for LinkedIn, similar to what it already provides for Facebook and Twitter. 9to5 Mac points out Apple began testing Facebook integration with versions of iOS 4, but the feature didn't arrive until iOS 6. Comment! [Tech]
- Tuesday, June 18, 9:10 AM LinkedIn (LNKD) +1.4% after Pac Crest starts coverage with an Outperform and $215 PT. ITG Research raised its estimates for the company on Friday. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Friday, June 14, 11:36 AM ITG Research raises its estimates for LinkedIn (LNKD +2.4%), citing higher order volumes and pricing (for ads, subscriptions, or both?). The professional social networking leader has largely been range-bound since March, after starting the year off with a bang. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, June 13, 2:12 PM Global mobile ad sales will grow 79% in 2013 to $15.8B, and Google (GOOG) will account for $8.85B (56%) of them on the back of 92% growth, estimates eMarketer. Facebook's (FB) mobile ad sales are seen rising over 4x to $2.04B (12.9% share), Pandora's (P) 67% to $400M, Twitter's 121% to $310M, and Millennial Media's (MM) 71% to $120M. Total digital (Web/mobile) ad sales are expected to rise 10% in 2013 to $116.8B, with Google growing 19% to $38.8B, Facebook 38% to $5.89B, Microsoft (MSFT) 22% to $2.08B, LinkedIn (LNKD) 46% to $380M, and Yahoo (YHOO) just 3% to $3.63B. (U.S. mobile estimates) 4 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, May 21, 10:05 AM LinkedIn (LNKD +2.6%) bounces after BGC starts coverage with a Buy and $225 PT. The business social networking leader is still down 7.5% from where it traded before delivering light Q2 guidance to go with a Q1 beat, but still remains up 62% YTD. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Wednesday, May 8, 2:06 PM Yelp (YELP -3.2%) and LinkedIn (LNKD -2%) are having a rough day after Doug Kass reports hearing the companies will be among the names discussed as short ideas at the Sohn Investment Conference (attended by many top hedge funds). Yelp remains well above where it traded prior to last week's Q1 report and guidance hike. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, May 3, 12:17 PM LinkedIn's (LNKD -9.9%) below-consensus guidance is likely conservative, Goldman declares as the company gives back some of its giant 2013 gains. Goldman might be right, but investors have already come to expect big earnings beats. The sell-side is staying positive, arguing long-term growth drivers - strong user growth, recruiting share gains, higher engagement, etc. - remain intact. Not accounting for post-earnings estimate changes, LinkedIn currently trades at 87x 2014E EPS and 9.4x 2014E sales. Considering how share-losing rival Monster (MWW +4.6%) is performing, a strong NFP report may be limiting today's decline. (previous) (transcript) 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]

Premarket gainers: PKT +32%. YRCW +27%. INVN +18%. YY +8%. DDD +5%.
Losers: VCRA -35%. ZAGG -24%. GUID -23%. CHE -16%. ARNA -13%. CETV -13%. HMY -9%. LNKD -9%. AGNC -6%. RBS -6%. 3 Comments [On the Move] - Thursday, May 2, 6:21 PM More from LinkedIn's (LNKD) CC: Q1 EPS was lifted by tax credits and lower-than-expected R&D spend, but spending pace about to pick up (plenty of new hiring, and also data center expansion). Early uptake for LinkedIn's new Contacts app (available both on Web and mobile) is said to be very strong, and likes/comments on the core mobile apps are said to have risen 40% since a recent revamp. Record number of new users added in Q1, and the base has thus far risen to 225M (from 218M) in Q2. LinkedIn's Sales Navigator product is still in its early stages. (previous) 1 Comment [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, May 2, 6:09 PM Mentioned during LinkedIn's CC: Ad revenue growth will be affected near-term by LinkedIn's transition to sponsored news feed updates (similar to Facebook's Sponsored Stories) - management says it's working to "improve" its ad business model. Also, the impact of a recent price hike for LinkedIn's Recruiter product will be gradual. Talent Solutions customers grew by 1,700 in Q1 to 18K+ (2,400 added in seasonally strong Q4). ARPU higher though 27% of clients are now SMBs (24% a year ago). 30% of visits now from mobile, but PC page view growth still 31%. LinkedIn insists its ad prices remain strong in spite of the mobile shift. LNKD -10.4% AH. (Q1: I, II) 3 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, May 2, 4:31 PM More on LinkedIn: No explanation for guidance; with shares up 76% YTD, expectations were high. Q1 numbers solid, even if growth is slowing from sky-high levels: Talent Solutions (jobs) revenue +80% Y/Y (+90% in Q4) and 57% of total; Subscriptions +73% (+79% prior) and 20% of total; Ads +56% (+68% prior) and 23% of total. U.S. 62% of sales, same as Q4. 218M registered users, up 16M Q/Q. Monthly unique visitors +14% Q/Q to 132M per comScore, LinkedIn claims 170M+. ComScore estimates page views rose 13% Q/Q to 11.1B (higher engagement). Costs/expenses +69% Y/Y due to sales/R&D investments. LNKD -7.9% AH. (PR) (slides) 3 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, May 2, 4:09 PM LinkedIn (LNKD): Q1 EPS of $0.45 beats by $0.14. Revenue of $324.7M (+72% Y/Y) beats by $7.6M. Expects Q2 revenue of $342M-$347M, below $359.2M consensus.

- Tuesday, April 16, 12:47 PM LinkedIn (LNKD +2.9%) outperforms after National Alliance Capital starts coverage with a Buy and $192 PT. Analyst Mike Hickey declares the business social networking giant's current risk/reward favorable, and sees few "realistic" competitive threats. Shares are just a few dollars away from their all-time high of $186. 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 11, 4:46 PM LinkedIn (LNKD) confirms it has bought iOS/Android news reader app Pulse. The purchase price is $90M (90% stock, 10% cash - LinkedIn's valuation might have something to do with that), in-line with the $50M-$100M reported last month by AllThingsD. If the SlideShare acquisition is any guide, look for LinkedIn to keep supporting Pulse's apps - the startup claims 30M+ people have used them at some point - while looking for ways to integrate its tools with its site, as it keeps looking for ways to bring user engagement closer to that of consumer-oriented social networks. 5 Comments [Tech, M&A]
