If a management team wishes to undertake efforts specifically aimed at helping the company meet or beat the investor-expected increases in the company's stock price in upcoming years, then it should pursue actions to

a.increase the annual dividend payments to shareholders most every year.

b.increase the amount of earnings retained in the business every year, thereby accumulating an ever larger amount of cash in the company's retained earnings account on its Balance Sheet.

c.outspend rivals on corporate social responsibility initiatives and charitable contributions, so as to encourage bigger numbers of investors who strongly support corporate social responsibility initiatives to purchase shares of the company's common stock.

d.increase the company's current ratio and thereby provide a very big boost to quickly achieving an A+ credit rating.

e.issue shares of common stock most every year and then using the cash to pay off bank loans and to pay for capital expenditures.
