when a stock price rises, does the company get more money?
user
no. not directly. a company issues stock in order to raise capital for building its business. once the initial shares are sold to the public, the company doesn't receive additional funds from future transactions of those shares of stock between the public.  however, the company could issue more shares at the new higher price to raise more capital.
