Not every stock has to be a growth stock, their value can be based on expectations of future dividends.
However, tech stocks are priced assuming growth, so the owners would lose a lot of money if it becomes clear that growth is no longer possible.
I know about dividends but decided to keep the comment simple. Aren’t dividends relevant only in utility and holding companies?
Kind of, because those sectors are widely known to not be growth-oriented. There is only so much demand for electricity for example.
At one point that was probably a growth sector, but now it is ubiquitous. Perhaps someday some tech stocks could be focused on dividends rather than infinite growth.
