Perhaps the stock market in zimbabwe could serve as a good primer on how stocks would do, measured in inflation adjusted local purchasing power or FCY term? If the dollar devalues to 1/millionth of its previous value measured in a basket of goods, would stocks trade at levels to match that?

When things get as bad as hyperinflation, not all prices surge
equally at the same time. They are quite sporadic. In some sense
the stock market is the first receiver of the money from
the printing press. The worst thing to own is cash and bonds.
