LinkedIn, Groupon Reporting During Social Media Stock Storm

http://socialnetworkingnews.org/linkedin-groupon-reporting-during-social-media-stock-storm/


LinkedIn and Groupon GRPN -0.35% are due to report results after the bell Thursday during what has been a brutal week for social media stocks.


Twitter TWTR -1.05% reported earnings Monday after the close and showed a slowdown in user growth. That was enough to make the stock reel. Twitter’s stock is down more than 15% since it reported third-quarter results.


Meanwhile, Facebook FB -2.48% managed to spook investors when it reported earnings Tuesday for another reason: spending. The social networking site said it plans to ramp up spending in 2015. Mark Zuckerberg on a conference call said the company plans to invest “aggressively.”


Shares of Facebook are down 9% since the company reported earnings Tuesday.


Investors in LinkedIn appear to be pessimistic Thursday ahead of earnings as the stock is down more than 1%. Groupon’s stock is up slightly.
