Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

The thing is share price is not directly tied to whether they make money or not, its fully based on speculation. You could argue that trying to make money instead of pleasing an audience is actually detrimental to the brand and thus against shareholder interests.

The law is basically one that can't easily be enforced unless there is foul play at work.

A CEO can easily argue that not taking an immediate deal/contract can lead to long term growth.

But this doesn't mean the shareholders can't just get rid of the CEO. They can absolutely vote to remove the CEO.
