MARCH 2, 2012, 3:21 PM By Steven Russolillo and Lynn Cowan - Scott Rostan quoted Yelp shares have been scorching all day long without showing any sign of losing momentum. The big question now, however, is whether the company’s one-day pop proves to be sustainable. The stock shot up more than 60% minutes after the open and has stayed around the same level for much of the day. If history is any guide, the one-day pop doesn’t bode well for the future. Some of the social-media stocks that have gone public over the last year haven’t had such great track records of maintaining one-day jumps. LinkedIn surged more than 100% on its first day of trading and advanced as high as $122.70 that day. But the stock quickly fell back and hasn’t sniffed that level since. “It’s a marathon, not a [...]

By Nicola Leske  - Scott Rostan quoted (Reuters) – Consumer review website Yelp Inc made a sparkling market debut on Friday, buoyed by optimism ahead of Facebook’s public listing and hopes for further successful public listings by Internet companies down the road. Yelp’s stock closed 64 percent higher at $24.58, a day after Yelp priced its IPO at $15 a share – above its indicated range of $12 to $14. At Friday’s closing price, the company is worth about $1.47 billion – about 17 times its 2011 revenue. “If you look at it, there’s been a very high trading volume, much higher than normal,” said Scott Rostan, a former Merrill Lynch analyst who founded Training The Street, an investment banking school in New York. Yelp could be benefitting from the optimism about Facebook’s upcoming IPO, he added. “Investors are getting [...]
