Would LinkedIn investors accept a takeover invitation from a strategic buyer?
Goldman believes there's 10% to 15% probability LinkedIn (LNKD) gets an acquisition offer.
As the world's largest professional social network, LinkedIn lays claim to 250 million registered members.
"The company's first party professional data and social/professional graph are unique and could be commercialized in different ways," Goldman argues.
Goldman has a "buy" rating on LinkedIn, and its price target of $250 implies upside of almost 10%.
