Evercore Partners maintains an 'Equal Weight' on LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) price target of $115.00.
Analyst, Ken Sena, said, "We are raising our total revenue estimate by 4% from $215 million (78% y/y) to $225 million (86% y/y), above the high end of the company's $210-215 million revenue guidance and higher than consensus of $215 million, or 78% y/y. Our 20% EBITDA margins remain unchanged bringing adj. EBITDA to $46 million, up from $44 million previously."
"At 8x and 60x our 2013 revenue and EBITDA estimates, LinkedIn is expensive, and our Equal-Weight rating reflects a degree of conservatism given this valuation. Nevertheless, the company is clearly on a very solid growth trajectory, which our checks this quarter continue to demonstrate."
