    It’s the same thing. The value of any given stock has to do with the perceived future value of the stock. The perceived future value of the stock has to do with the ability of a company to profitably grow. No one invests in startups expecting dividends, but if the startup cannot demonstrate monopoly potential, it’s very difficult to get investment.

        There’s plenty of theorists who argue otherwise. Profit distribution represents value that have nowhere else to grow, whereas as stock value growth represents money deployed to growth that otherwise could have been distributed. In the end, it’s value capture.
