Publicly traded companies have to continually make more money than they did last month, last quarter, same time last year.
Failing to do so means they are somehow "losing" money that is "rightfully owed" to them and the stock market punishes them.
It doesn't matter if you're profitable or not, so long as you're continually making more money.
Yeah, except for Tesla, how the fuck man.
Mmhmm compare that with the sales numbers, then compare against any company in history which has had a similar sales pattern for a publicly traded company.
