The profitablility of a company should have a direct link to their share valueas from the profits the dividends are paid. It's not that simple though because you've got to take into account the value of the share and profitability by the time you plan to sell them.
Companies themselves aren't doing too bad in terms of the cash they've got saved up, in fact they're very good comparing the last 10ish years. The debt is owed by the governments.

If the ECB can't support the currency, it means that co's are trading in a currency that may die on it's arse. If that happens then your corporate reserves are for shit too.
