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

yes, by helping to keep their earnings positive you are contributing to the future stock price increasing…..but we’d be talking 0.00000001% so not an effective way to “pay yourself” with your spending habits
