Umm, did you read the earnings report? They are hardly losing money.
- kgwgk 11y agoThat depends on your definition of "losing". Ignoring stock based compensation (almost 20% of revenue if properly accounted for using GAAP) helps to get the "adjusted" net income into positive territory. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/21/business/high-tech-fantasy-accounting.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/21/business/high-tech-fantasy...
- jonknee 11y agoI wish I could run my life while ignoring certain pesky costs!
- mrweasel 11y agoI might be reading the wrong, but they seem to have been losing money the first three quarters of 2015: http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:LNKD&fstype=ii http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:LNKD&fstype=ii They would need to make a pretty good profit the last three month of 2015 to make up for it. Again I might just not know how to read financial statements, but adding up all the "Net incomes" gives you around $108 million in lose.
- kgwgk 11y agoThey have posted a small loss ($8mn) in the fourth quarter. But if you ignore a number of costs you can easily convert a $166 million loss into a $373 million gain.
