Seriously. Yes, the management of the company could be sued for intentionally tanking a company, but even that would need some egregious shit like emails saying "lol we're tanking the company on purpose" to get anywhere with it.
Long term profits, building brand awareness and goodwill are things companies can aim for instead of short term profits.
Remember that scene in the Dark Knight where the Joker holds a giant cash bonfire, burning all that mob cash? I'm pretty sure a CEO would have to do that before they could actually be sued by shareholders for not seeking maximum profit. There are just too many possible paths to profit otherwise, and they're allowed to focus on the long term rather than the short term.
