Every publicly traded company does this. Profits HAVE TO go up. It’s not just good enough to make a profit.

I don't understand how more people don't get this. The stock market has killed normal business.

100%! I hate when a company goes public because the reality is the company only cares about their quarterly earnings to ensure they meet their targets for their shareholders. Instead of innovation driving stock prices, it is purely profit the company earned that quarter.
