This tech company hasn’t garnered the media attention of Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) but on Friday, CNBC’s Jim Cramer came out singing its praises. Just because Cramer likes it doesn’t mean you should, but this stock may have given value investors exactly what they wanted—an entry point.

That company is LinkedIn (NASDAQ: LNKD). Even after Friday’s double digit fall, the stock is up 53 percent this year and has quadrupled since its 2011 IPO.

Then came Thursday after the bell. LinkedIn announced earnings that were well above consensus estimates but spooked investors with its Q2 guidance. Looking to Q2, the company projected revenue of $342 to $347 million versus consensus of $359.24 million. This sent the stock down 13 percent on Friday to close at $175.59.
