Interest rates go up, future revenue becomes less valuable, companies lay people off to add to their margins to preserve their valuations.



> Interest rates go up, future revenue becomes less valuable (...)

I don't think this is true at all. Central banks hike interest rates to limit and reign in inflation. It's the exact opposite of what you claimed.


In terms of people deciding to invest in a company, high interest rates definitely make future revenue less valuable in terms of discounted cash flow models.
