Analysts are expecting Facebook Inc. (FB) to make early trading gains during its IPO debut Friday, but it is unclear how big a pop investors could see in the social network's stock.

Trading in the company's shares is scheduled to begin around 11 a.m. EDT on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The initial public offering priced Thursday night at $38 a share, at the high end of a raised range of $34 to $38. That range was boosted earlier this week from its original level of $28 to $35 in response to investor demand.

Facebook's initial public offering is "unprecedented in terms of the demand" from average investors, said Stephen Kay, a managing director at brokerage Knight Capital who works with retail brokerages.

"I spoke to one of my big online brokers and at 6:05 this morning, when they allowed people to hit the button and make an order, there were hundreds of orders that were waiting," Kay said.

David Menlow, president of research firm IPOfinancial.com, said he isn't expecting a "huge pop" for Facebook. Predictions for the deal have ranged from dire--everyone trying to sell on the first day, which he see as unlikely--to the possibility of a double-digit percentage gain. But a survey of analysts showed most expected to see the shares appreciate. .............................................
