    "excerpt": "Microsoft has announced the acquisition of LinkedIn for 26.2 billion dollars. This is the largest acquisition in the history of the American giant. The all-cash offer will be launched at 196 dollars per share. It represents a premium of nearly 50% compared to the current share price of a site whose valuation was 17 billion dollars before the buyout offer. It should be noted that the professional social network has still not proven its economic model. Indeed, LinkedIn struggles to be profitable even though it has 433 million registered users worldwide. - With: Virginie Robert, president of Constance Associés. And Olivier Sichel, CEO of the LeGuide.com group. - Tech & Co, from Monday, June 13, 2016, presented by Sébastien Couasnon, on BFM Business.",
