The market cap doesn't tell you anything about the available resources a company has. For example... Gamestop's market cap did this recently - https://www.macr

  Not a great example since they sold over a billion worth of stock. They do actually have more money now. Microsoft generates more money than they know what to do with so they return large amounts in dividends and probably stock buybacks (I haven't checked for MSFT specifically, but it's all the rage these days.) That's essentially the opposite of what GME did.

    MSFT dividend yield is nothing to write home about. Less than 1% per year at the moment.

      That's mostly because of the stock run-up, I recall it was around 3% late last year.
