So you run a business, pay the bills, pay the investors, have $money. Same business, pay the bills, NO investors, have more $money$. It's a simple concept with simple math for a business that is making money and does not need investors.
Except there is no "pay investors". The only payments to investors are dividends. Those are neither mandatory or guaranteed. Investors of companies that do not pay dividend get income via increased stock price which is generally reflected in a well run company. Heck prior to a few years ago Apple paid no dividend.

And dividends are typically paid out of net profit so it shouldn't impact a well run company at all.

And a well run company doesn't need investors who only want to steer the car from the back seat in the direction of the piles of cash on the edges of cliffs that they can grab before jumping in another car at the microsecond it is necessary to maintain their game play.
