LinkedIn Was Downgraded 10 Times After Last Earnings Report

LinkedIn Corp LNKD is set to release its Q1 results on April 28 after market close and is expected to deliver upside in both top and bottom line.

Wall Street expects the online professional network to earn $0.60 a share on revenue of $828.47 million. In the same quarter last year, the company earned $0.57 a share on revenue of $637.69 million.

The stock saw 13 downgrades after its fourth quarter results on February 4, with 10 of them coming the day after. The downgrades were driven by its weak guidance for Q1. The company guided to a modest sequential decline in revenue and a sharp decline in EBITDA, reflecting EBITDA margin contraction in the first quarter.
