In total, Microsoft generated $26.1 billion in revenue for the quarter, meaning LinkedIn’s contribution is less than 1 percent.
If we are to compare with Q2 2016, LinkedIn reported $933 million in revenue, with an earnings per share of $1.13. It also had a net loss of $118 million.
Microsoft completed its LinkedIn purchase in December, after receiving approval from regulators in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, South Africa, and the European Commission.
