Your mistake there is thinking the stock market has to make sense. For instance, mass layoffs are a huge red flag that a company is failing and in any sane world would instantly tank the value. The stock market instead likes layoffs because it's not at all interested in what the company actually does, so spending a little less in the short term to produce a lot less long term is a good thing.
