Does a company profit from increases in its share price?

Short Answer: NoIn the stock market you have a primary market and a secondary market. When a company goes public shares are initially sold on the primary market. During the IPO a company benefits from a high share price in that this is the capital that they will receive to fund their operations. After the initial IPO the stock begins trading on the secondary markets. In the secondary market the company does not directly profit from fluctuations in share price. The only exception being that a corporation would receive a benefit due to increase share prices in relation to any additional offerings or secondary stock offerings. The company will benefit from the higher share prices allowing the company to raise capital relatively cheap.
