How are they “dismissed”? Are trading volumes or share prices for non crazy or massive companies too low?

> especially in the US, and especially in tech, unless the company is growing like crazy or massive, it's considered as insignificant and dimissed

Maybe in Silicon Valley, were decades of totem disdain for anything resembling a business education is starting to take its toll. For anyone with a financial background, slow-growing profitable companies are most American industry. If you want to grow slowly (or barely at all), and want investors who like that, offer a dividend and price at a reasonable P/E.

Dismissed by who? Dismissed by the media and public is one thing, but if you think investors are also dismissing them unfairly, that doesn't sound unfortunate at all. That sounds like an investment thesis.
