forecasting the company's outlook for 2012. In the report, Bank of America writes, "For 2012 we are lower than the Street on 2012 revenue, and higher on EPS at $811mn/$0.57 vs. $828mn/$0.52. We expect margin leverage in 2012, [benefiting] from technology and global sales force investments in 2011. We expect a solid 4Q based on our job postings count at 87K, up 18% Q/Q QTD from 76K at end of 3Q. For 4Q we are at revs/EPS of $158mn/$0.07 vs street at $160mn/$0.05 and see upside potential as 4Q last year was up 32% q/q and our model (our $158mn in revenue is at top end of 4Q guidance) has a conservative 13% q/q estimate." Bank of America maintains its Buy rating and $92 price objective on LinkedIn, which is currently trading down $0.70 from yesterday's $64.13 closing price.
