Everybody says this, that companies are always seeking their current quarter profits, but:

  • That is irrational and I don’t see why they’d behave that way
  • Ive seen no evidence that they actually do

Can anyone provide evidence that companies actually optimize for current quarter profits at the neglect of all other time spans?

Companies as a whole might not always do this, but executives trying to hit their targets and get their bonus definitely behave this way sometimes
