LNKD Linkedin Corp. Class A

Tech-company stocks fell amid concerns about the growth outlook for some of Silicon Valley's most successful companies in recent years. Shares of LinkedIn plunged by more than 40% after the business networking site warned that its growth will slow in 2016. For the year, LinkedIn said it expects revenue of $3.6 billion to $3.65 billion and earnings excluding expenses of $3.05 to $3.20 a share, well shy of Wall Street estimates. Tableau Software shares fell by more than 50% after the computer-software company gave a bleak earnings outlook for 2016 because of a slowdown in spending by customers.
