J. P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth also expects "a strong quarter driven by continued secular shift toward LinkedIn's hiring tools and improved engagement among users."

In a note to clients, he described the company as "arguably one of the strongest assets arising out of the 2011 2012 ‘Net initial public offering cycle." But he maintained a neutral rating on the stock, saying he finds the shares' current valuation "far from compelling." "We would become more constructive on a material share price pullback or on signs of material upside to our estimates, most likely driven by usage and monetization improvements," he added
