April 20:

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Among the companies whose shares are expected to see active trade in Monday’s session are Netflix Inc., Halliburton Co., Hasbro Inc. and LinkedIn Corp.

Netflix Inc. NFLX +4.32%  is projected to report first-quarter earnings of 81 cents a share, according to a consensus survey from FactSet. The video-streaming company is expected to add 570,000 subscribers in the second quarter, slightly below the 600,000 in the second quarter of last year, according to analyst Doug Anmuth at J.P. Morgan. Anmuth rates the stock at overweight with a price target of $500.

Professional networking site LinkedIn Corp.LNKD +2.10%   said on Friday it has reached 300 million members worldwide after adding more than 23 million members since year-end.

Halliburton Co. HAL +0.66%  is forecast to post earnings of 72 cents a share in the first quarter.

Hasbro Inc. HAS +1.41%  is likely to report first-quarter earnings of 10 cents a share. “We expect Hasbro’s Q1 2014 top line will benefit from Marvel’s Captain America sell-in along with the inclusion of Backflip Studios.
