what gives non-dividend stocks value to purchasers? [duplicate]
user
dividends are not fixed. a profitable company which is rapidly expanding, and thus cash-strapped may very well skip dividends, yet that same fast growth makes it valuable. when markets saturate, and expansion stops, the same company may now have a large free cash flow so it can pay dividends.
