    I’m not sure what your point is, the investors care about the stock price because that’s their money in/money out. Lower profit could be fine if they’re, say, investing 150Bn/yr into a new venture that stands to be profitable in the future (may even drive the stock price up). It’s vibes based to a degree, quite a bit of analysis goes into a company’s performance as well.

    FWIW their gross profit is also up more than 3x in the same time frame.

      He’s generating profit, that’s all that matters to the shareholders.

      Is he?

      Have a look at the MSFT share price

      My only point is that share price and profit are not necessarily correlated, people mix them up all the time, so I try to correct that when I see it. I’m not disagreeing with your overall point - I would agree that most investors only care about the share price.

        Yeah, I should’ve been more clear in my original post - I was trying to convey why investors would like him and just ignored the profit bit.
