I agree, corporations are never going to lose, if governments raise the taxes corporations have to pay,they will fire some of their employees, raise the prices of their products and still use their lawyers to somehow avoid to pay those taxes, so it is not surprising they are doing the same with high inflation, as such this should not be a surprise to anyone as this is a trend that happens all over the world, which in return generates more inflation creating a vicious circle in the process.
Well.. corporations are always profit oriented. They have the best lawyers and CAs, and if there is a loophole available to avoid taxes, then they will use that. Actually you can't blame the corporations for that. They are making use of the existing law and not really doing anything that is illegal. If the governments have a problem with that, then they should remove these loopholes from the system. Anyway, everyone benefits in the end. Higher price means a lower P/E ratio and higher stock price in the long run. And those who invest in the stock market benefits as a result.
