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

If the company is profitable and pays a dividend, could imagine you’re getting a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit of your purchase price back. All the money kind of swims around in different pools so it’s not quite that simple, but there is a tiny bit of truth to it.
