No — you cannot buy IKEA stock. IKEA has no publicly traded shares.
Who owns IKEA
IKEA is run through a foundation-based structure — principally the Inter IKEA and Ingka groups — deliberately designed to keep it out of public markets.
What would have to happen before you could buy shares
IKEA's owners would have to choose to sell the company to public shareholders — a change of intent, not just a change of paperwork. Companies held this way usually stay that way.
Be careful with "pre-IPO" share offers. Legitimate pre-IPO stock is generally restricted to employees, existing investors and accredited investors, and unsolicited offers to sell you shares in a private company are a common fraud pattern.
