Why do companies care about their share price after the IPO?

613 viewsEconomicsOther

As I understand it, once a company raises, say $5 billion in an IPO, the shares are sold and they get the money.

The shares are already with the public now. Why is it so important for public companies to grow their share price further every quarter? Why not focus only on the final profit margins?

Lots of correct answers here. Also, a lot of top exec compensation is in the form of shares of stock.
