Market share come first before

2021-07-14

Market share come first before profit. Without market shares which accumulated from consumers buying the products, there will be no profit to be made & share price will deteriorate. This is not what investors want to achieve

This surge in inflation will soon be history — because companies will sacrifice profit for market share

I always thought that having a bigger slice of pie is good?? Am I wrong?? Profit will automatic follow with bigger market share, as long as your costs is within control.
- Kencom:
  Having a bigger pie of the shares in the invested company to gain higher profits. but if the company loses its market share will result in drop in its earning profit; causing drop in per share profit.
