Yes, I suppose this is also correct. I just wanted to reiterate that with modern creative financing, a large company can stay “unprofitable” basically forever and still keep shareholders happy.

The is only true as long as shareholders believe that the company gets a return on its investments.

If they believe it just destroys the money it keeps, they will start demanding a payout.
