Goldman Sachs maintains a 'Buy' on LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) price target of $157.00 (from $150.00).

Analyst, Heath P. Terry, said, "We continue to believe that LinkedIn is the best secular growth opportunity in the space. We believe valuation concerns will largely fade as estimates are revised higher on the success of the existing business lines and new revenue streams, like Sales Navigator, that come from leveraging the network."

"2012 revenue goes to $931mn and non-GAAP EPS to $0.70 from $897mn and $0.61, while 2013 increases to $1,558mn and $1.88 from $1,471mn and $1.42 and 2014 goes to $2,302mn and $2.63 from $2,099mn and $1.97."
