LinkedIn: where you read opinion pieces on office life, congratulate ex-colleagues and that girl you think you went to uni with on their new job or promotion, and brag about all the fun you’re having at your new job...
While you can't invest directly in LinkedIn itself, you can buy shares in Microsoft (which acquired LinkedIn at the end of 2016). Microsoft is listed on the NASDAQ with stock code "MSFT".
It's important to note that Microsoft isn't just the parent company for LinkedIn. By investing, you're effectively also buying into Windows, Bing, Outlook, Activision Blizzard, Visual Studio and Xbox, amongst others. That means the movement of Microsoft's share price will be affected by more than just the fortunes of LinkedIn.

Is LinkedIn (Microsoft) under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, let alone a "Magnificent 7" stock, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the LinkedIn (Microsoft) P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
LinkedIn (Microsoft)'s current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 36x. In other words, LinkedIn (Microsoft)'s shares trade at around 36x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
LinkedIn (Microsoft)'s "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1546. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into LinkedIn (Microsoft)'s future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
LinkedIn (Microsoft)'s EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $166.4 billion (£125.9 billion).
