NEW YORK, May 22 (Reuters) - Shares of professional social networking company LinkedIn Corp could fall by half if the company hits a rough patch, Barron's said in its May 23 issue.
LinkedIn, whose shares more than doubled after the company went public last week, will find it hard to justify its high valuation and investors "should stay away," the financial weekly newspaper wrote.
LinkedIn shares are trading at 35 times its 2010 revenue and 550 times 2010 profit, levels Barron's called "steep." [ID:nN1939946]
The relatively small amount of shares issued in the IPO is one major reason for the shares' sharp increase, the paper said.
Challenges for LinkedIn could include little room for further growth in the United States and the rising cost of retaining talent in Silicon Valley, Barron's wrote.
Shares of LinkedIn closed Friday down 1.2 percent at $93.09, after more than doubling from their $45 IPO price in their Thursday debut.

* Sees political, technical challenges in China
* Exploring the market, but far from making any decision
(Adds comments from company executive)
BEIJING, May 26 (Reuters) - LinkedIn Corp will seek out opportunities in China to capitalise on its massive user base even though it sees the market as complicated, a company executive said on Thursday.
LinkedIn, a professional social-networking-site, has a small presence in the country and is one of the few foreign social-networking-sites to still have access to Chinese Internet users. Twitter and Facebook are blocked in China.
"It (China) is a very competitive market," Arvind Rajan, Vice President of Asia Pacific and Japan at Linkedin told reporters on the sidelines of a conference.
"There are political challenges, technical challenges. There are a whole lot of things for us to go through. We are far away from making any decision. At this point, we are just here to explore the market, to talk to people.."
LinkedIn was also briefly blocked by China in February this year. [ID:nTOE71N01F]
Similar to Facebook, LinkedIn allows users to create profile pages with a photo and details about themselves. But it is largely used for professional rather than social personas, and is basically an online database of electronic resumes.
LinkedIn shares more than doubled in their public trading debut last Thursday, evoking memories of the investor love affair with Internet stocks during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s.

Frankfurt (aktiencheck.de AG) - Das weltgrößte berufliche Online Netzwerk LinkedIn (Profil) ist am 19. Mai furios an der Börse gestartet, so die Analysten von Deutsche Bank db-X markets.
Die Aktie habe am ersten Handelstag bei 94,25 USD geschlossen. Dies sei ein Plus von mehr als 100% zum Ausgabepreis von 45,00 USD gewesen. Damit erreiche der Unternehmenswert rund 9 Milliarden USD und wecke bei einigen Anlegern Erinnerungen an den Beginn der Internetblase Anfang des Jahrhunderts, als ebenfalls die Aktienkurse am IPO-Tag rasant nach oben geschnellt seien.
Erstmals in Deutschland habe das X-markets-Team der Deutschen Bank neben Knock-Out Produkten nun auch klassische Optionsscheine (Calls und Puts) für spekulative Anleger emittiert. (31.05.2011/oc/n/a)

Below are some interesting facts about the company.
HEADQUARTERS: Mountain View, California, roughly a 15-minute walk or five-minute drive from Google.
MARKET VALUE: It has fluctuated around $10 billion, more than many well established companies such as Southwest Airlines Co and the stock exchange LinkedIn is listed on, NYSE Euronext.
EMPLOYEES: As of March 31, LinkedIn had 1,288 employees. At $97 per share, the company's market value is roughly $7 million per employee. Seven is also how many New York City subway cars could fit the entire LinkedIn staff.
USERS: A month after the company launched in May 2003, LinkedIn had 4,500 members. As of March 31, LinkedIn had 102 million members. Based on LinkedIn's market value at $97 per share, those users are valued at about $90 each.
CO-FOUNDER REID HOFFMAN: Now a billionaire. In the IPO, Hoffman sold less than 1 percent of his stake and made $5.2 million. Now he has some 19 million shares left, or almost 22 percent of voting power, and they are worth nearly $2 billion.
Hoffman is an entrepreneur and investor who stands out in the crowd in Silicon Valley, being slightly older, pudgier and friendlier than most CEOs. Hoffman was executive vice president at PayPal Inc before Ebay Inc bought it in 2002 and is on the boards of a handful of technology companies and startups including Mozilla Corp and Zynga.
Hoffman has a master's degree in philosophy from Oxford University and a bachelor's in symbolic systems from Stanford.
His LinkedIn profile: r.reuters.com/xak69r . On Twitter, he is @quixotic .
CEO JEFF WEINER: Now a multi-millionaire. In the IPO, Weiner sold about 5 percent of his stake and made $5.2 million. His remaining stake, about 2.5 percent of voting power, has a value of about $230 million, depending on the share price.
Weiner became chief executive in June 2009 after stints at venture capital firms Greylock Partners and Accel Partners and Yahoo! Inc. Before becoming CEO, he filled in as LinkedIn's interim president for about half a year.
Last year, at a conference in San Francisco, he explained why LinkedIn is not threatened by Facebook. (Click here to find out more: r.reuters.com/tak69r) One hint: keg stands.
Weiner has a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
His LinkedIn profile: r.reuters.com/wak69r . On Twitter, he is @JeffWeiner .
PECULIAR BUSINESS MODEL: LinkedIn makes more money through its offline sales force which directly solicits customers, agencies and resellers (56 percent in 2010) than online.
REVENUE: LinkedIn's net revenue grew more than 100 percent from 2009 to 2010, while the company ramped up its sales and marketing spending by 120 percent in the same period. The company posted losses in 2006, 2008 and 2009 and profits in 2007 and 2010. It broke even in the first quarter of 2011 and warned it does not expect to be profitable this year.

New York (aktiencheck.de AG) - Douglas Anmuth, Analyst von J.P Morgan Securities, stuft die Aktie von LinkedIn (Profil) von "overweight" auf "neutral" zurück, bestätigt aber das Kursziel von 85,00 USD.
Nach den Kurssteigerungen in den letzten drei Wochen sehe das Chance/Risiko-Profil nun ausgeglichener aus. LinkedIn könne im traditionellen wie auch im Online Rekrutierungsmarkt eine zerstörerische Kraft entfalten. Eine stärkere Verbreitung im Firmenmarkt dürfte in den kommenden Jahren zu starken Ergebnissen führen.
Unter Bewertungsgesichtspunkten sollten Investoren LinkedIn mit Netflix (Profil) vergleichen. Während LinkedIn auf eine Marktkapitalisierung von 12 Mrd. USD komme, habe Netflix einen Wert von 15 Mrd. USD. Dabei erwirtschafte Netflix auf Basis der Erwartungen für 2012 das 7-fache des Umsatzes und des EBITDAs von LinkedIn.
Vor diesem Hintergrund bewerten die Analysten von J.P Morgan Securities die Aktie von LinkedIn nunmehr mit dem Votum "neutral". (Analyse vom 18.07.11) (20.07.2011/ac/a/a)
