It is mostly true but the stock isn’t based solely on the company’s performance the biggest factor is the amount of shares bought witch causes the price to increase. But more people will buy if the company where to make an announcement.

Yes, because if the company doesn’t do well the price will decrease which would be good for the people buying but not good for the workers which means there would be a shortage of whatever the company is offering and soon the company will be out of business which isn’t good for you in the end.
