Does spending money at a company affect their stock price?

Question

I just don’t understand how it works…when I hold shares in a company and I spend money there, am I technically making a very very small amount of that money back?

ALSO:
what is the simplest way to explain how stock prices increase then?

Answer 1

No. Stock prices are market perception, thats it.

There may be an effect where the company does slightly better, people see that reported, and people think the stock is more valuable…

BUT, thats all perception. Stock prices are not DIRECTLY influenced by anything a company does.
