NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of LinkedIn Corp. jumped more than 10 percent before Friday's opening bell after the online professional-networking service reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results.
LinkedIn posted a 66 percent jump in fourth-quarter profit and said it added 15 million accounts to propel its total membership beyond 200 million. Visitors to LinkedIn's website also viewed 67 percent more pages than the previous year, which could be a sign that the company's efforts to add more business news and career tips are paying off.
The company also issued 2013 revenue guidance that was roughly in line with Wall Street predictions, but could prove to be conservative because it translates to a 45 percent jump. In 2012, LinkedIn's annual revenue rose 86 percent.
