I believe you misunderstood the OP. The OP is talking about increasing profit YoY.

If you have a company that makes a profit of $1 billion, and the next year they make another $1 billion in profit, they have not increased the amount of profit, and if they are publicly traded, the stock price will probably suffer, even though they made 1 billion freaking dollars! That is insane and it's not physically possible to continue growth forever.
