Monster has been looking for a buyer for a long-time, but found very limited interest.
Monster Worldwide ( MWW) saw its revenues decline 7% in the last quarter, while its earnings per share declined more than 50%. In addition, there aren't too many overly formidable competitors in the space and its existing competitors are getting weaker. LinkedIn's revenues in the last twelve months from this hiring segment stood at roughly $951 million, which leaves significant growth room from this crucial category. LinkedIn has previously pointed to a total addressable market of around $27 billion in the worldwide online recruitment business. Facebook already has 1.3 billion users, but the company is missing out on more than 20% of the world's Internet population due to restrictions in China. China has the largest Internet connected population in the world with 642 million online users, and LinkedIn can grow its penetration in that region significantly with more marketing. In addition, LinkedIn can operate in China and this luxury is not available to its social media peer, Facebook ( META 0.07%). Accordingly, there is a lot of room for LinkedIn to grow its user penetration. However, eMarketer estimates that there will be 222 million social network users in that region or 37% of the regional population. According to eMarketer, LinkedIn has roughly 40 million users in Latin America. The company has already more than 300 million registered users, and has more than 186 million monthly active users taking both LinkedIn and SlideShare into account.Īnd the company has a lot more for room for user penetration not only in the U.S but also worldwide.
#LINKEDIN STOCK PRINCE PROFESSIONAL#
LinkedIn is the category leader not only in the professional networking space but also in the online recruitment business. The company has a large addressable market in the online recruiting business, it is the category leader in the space and its valuation is attractive and has a lot of room for upside going forward. Here are three reasons why LinkedIn is a buy. The professional networking giant has a very strong core business and one that is expected to grow significantly in the future. LinkedIn ( LNKD.DL) sells at a much cheaper price relative to its recent highs.
