- Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 12:04 PM More on LinkedIn: At a conference yesterday, CEO Jeff Weiner stated his company aims to create an "economic graph" of information about professionals, much like how Facebook has created a "social graph" of connections between users and their interests. Weiner sees an economic graph enabling tools that allow companies to analyze a workforce and business conditions in a particular area. Also, as demonstrated by recent moves, he wants LinkedIn to be a bigger source of original content that can be used to demonstrate expertise. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 11:36 AM LinkedIn (LNKD) hopes to give its ad sales (25% of Q3 revenue) a boost by launching an API that will give developers the chance to build tools for automatically launching and quickly managing ad campaigns. That, in turn, could help LinkedIn be the recipient of the kind of large-scale campaigns often seen on Facebook, and enabled by the likes of Salesforce-acquired Buddy Media. Adobe is among the initial API partners. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 2:10 PM Facebook's (FB +11.8%) jobs app is nothing for LinkedIn (LNKD -0.9%) to be worried about, says BI's Owen Thomas after giving it a spin. Whereas LinkedIn provides a platform for finding candidates (along with job listings), Facebook's product is at heart a jobs search engine displaying listings already on Monster (MWW) and other sites. Thomas adds a search for San Francisco jobs turned up listings for positions in India. VentureBeat's Jolie O'Dell calls the app "barely functional." 2 Comments [Tech]
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 12:30 PM Facebook (FB +8.9%) uses its lockup expiration day to announce a long-rumored jobs app that allows recruiters to share listings. 1.7M listings are currently provided, and initial partners include Monster (MWW) and BranchOut. LinkedIn (LNKD -1.4%), which received 55% of its Q3 revenue from job listing services, has spiked lower on the news. The general preference among LinkedIn users to keep their personal and professional social media identities separate could insulate the company. (previous) 10 Comments [Tech, On the Move]

Premarket gainers: TRIP +20%. BGFV +14%. PCLN +11%. NBG +10%. SBUX +9%. DNDN +8%. ANR +8%. OCZ +8%. LNKD +7%.
Losers: ACTV -28%. GLUU -16%. ALU -12%. VRTX -10%. GES -10%. PSEC -8%. FSLR -6%. SWKS -5%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, November 1, 2012, 7:07 PM LinkedIn delivered a fairly positive earnings call to go with its Q3 beat (I, II). It noted registered users rose by 13M Q/Q to 187M, and that 1,700 new business customers were added, raising the total to 13.7K (share gains against MWW and others). Also: ad prices are rising thanks to better targeting, and revenue/customer is growing. Two points of concern: there are macro headwinds in Europe and Asia, and comScore believes PC page views have fallen the last 2 quarters thanks to the mobile shift, though LinkedIn claims its PC/mobile page views are up a combined 44% Y/Y. LNKD +7.7% AH. Comment! [Tech, Earnings]

- Thursday, November 1, 2012, 4:19 PM LinkedIn (LNKD): Q3 EPS of $0.22 beats by $0.11. Revenue of $252M (+81% Y/Y) beats by $8.1M. Expects Q4 revenue of $270M-$275M, in-line with $272.3M consensus. Shares +5.9% AH. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Thursday, November 1, 2012, 8:23 AM LinkedIn (LNKD) is scheduled to report its Q3 earnings after the bell, with analysts predicting that EPS rose to $0.11 from $0.06 while revenue jumped almost 75% to $243.9M. LinkedIn has consistently beaten sales forecasts since its IPO, which has sent the stock flying by almost 70% this year. Cantor Fitzgerald's Youssef Squali expects strong results "despite a soft job market and uncertain macro environment." Comment! [Earnings, Tech, Consumer]

- Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 9:55 AM Even with a big upcoming lockup expiration, Facebook (FB +21.6%) shorts are rushing to cover following a Q3 beat fueled by growing mobile ad sales, and an upbeat earnings call (I, II) focused on rising monetization. Social networking and mobile ad peers are joining in on the fun: LNKD +5.4%. RENN +4.9%. SINA +2.2% MM +10.7%. VELT +5.4%. Zynga (ZNGA +0.5%) is largely being left out after Facebook noted its Payments revenue share is quickly declining. Zynga announced layoffs yesterday and reports this afternoon. (FB transcript) 5 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, October 18, 2012, 12:47 PM Several Internet stocks are heading south in response to Google's early Q3 report. Facebook (FB -2.8%), Yelp (YELP -2.7%), Groupon (GRPN -2.8%), Zynga (ZNGA -1.6%), and LinkedIn (LNKD -2.1%) are among the casualties. 4 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, October 11, 2012, 9:48 AM LinkedIn (LNKD +3.1%) catches a bid after ITG forecasts Q3 revenue will come in at $255M, soundly above a $244M consensus. The business social networking leader has delivered a string of revenue beats, and the Street seems to be pricing in another one. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 11:38 AM While Facebook scrambles to improve monetization, LinkedIn (LNKD) is scrambling to improve user engagement. Having already added a Facebook-like news feed and notification system, the business social networking platform is now giving users the ability to follow "influential thought leaders" who will publish content for public viewing. Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, and Richard Branson are among the first 150 figures on board. Comment! [Tech]

Big otm put play on $LNKD. Can we get a crash? Losing big on this one so far this year!!! - View all 18 replies

J Mintzmyer: Yeah-- I picked the release for weak points, only thing I see major is the decline in marketing solutions for q/q. It seems talent is big
-
J Mintzmyer: area of growth here. Note revenue and subs both grew 6.95% q/q while expenses grew 8.73% q/q-- wrong direction! Avg stock diluted up 1.3M
