    So like, I’m no stock broker, but if I understand right, a company doesn’t directly benefit in any way from a higher stock price, right? They could split it, but for the most part, once their shares are bought up, the only people benefiting from the stock are rando shareholders and the handful of employees with stock options.

      The stock price determines the overall value of the company and has all kinds of ramifications, purchase ability, loan agreements, etc. etc.
