The long and short of it is accumulating profit regardless of the harm caused to the corporation and other stock holders. On the surface this seems unethical if not immoral. Yet this is legal.
Similarly those who take over a company, then gut it and then mark up product prices exponentially. Think of insulin. Again all legal.
