    If shareholders take you to the court for not prioritizing short-term profit at all costs, are you willing to defend this position?

      Yes.

      The board must put the interests of shareholders above other stakeholders, but those interests consist of a lot more than just immediate revenues.

      I’d argue that the 10 year profits are far more important than the quarterly

      Depends if the shareholders are all hedge funds wanting to pump-and-dump or if they’re actual investors interested in making the company better!

      Sue for what? No self-respecting CEO would accept a position that creates personal tort liability if the stock price doesn’t go up.
