I don't believe that to be the case. Tan would have milked the patents and R&D for cash and Huang would have destroyed all the goodwill found in today's partner relationships. Both may well have been able to generate a higher stock price but that would have been built upon stripping the company of it's true holding value. Win-lose comes in many colours. Win-win not so many. True growth is rarely quick, always frustrating and never guaranteed. To each, his or her own.

We wouldn't be shareholders. Cash buyout, if memory serves me.

Dr. Lisa Su also comes to mind. She crushed INTC and like Huang, strategically focused on AI. Amon was late and moving to the latest fad in the headlines (metaverse, Copilot+ that couldn't do gaming, wearable AR, ...) Amon touts the hockey stick growth that keeps moving five years into the future. Did his 2025 growth forecast come true when he pitched it in 2020? Nope. Yet BOD rewards him anyway. So Amon keeps pitching pie-in-the-sky growth, raking in bonus and stock options, while QCOM stock price languishes. Amon's strategic approach is making him wealthy -- shareholders be damned.
