How does someone "increase just the stock price without increasing the underlying value generation mechanism"? So they have to fool an army of analysts that are generally very very good at predicting growth and profits? They have to fool institutional investors who are literally pros at filtering through BS filing gimmicks. I've worked on trying trade automatically trade earnings reports (professionally) and the biggest problem was always the numbers didn't tell the complete story and investors caught on in literally seconds.
