No one said anything about lying.

Their job is to make the company successful. Part of success is raising funds and boosting share price.

That is their job, and how do you imagine they can do that?

Sound kind of glum and down about the company prospects?

Do not make be laugh.

Even if the company is literally haemorrhaging cash and has < week of runway left, senior executives are often so far up their own basses and surrounded by yes men, that they often honestly believe they can turn things around.

Its often not about will-fully lying.

Its just delusional belief and faith in something that is very unlikely.

(Last minute turn arounds and DSA do exist, but like lottery players, seeing the very few people who do win and mimicking them does not make you into a winner; most of the time)
