A company's stock is won't be worth anything if there isn't at least the prospect of shareholders making any money by investing in it, regardless of whether it actually pays out dividends. If the company never pays a single dividend, but then sells the company, the shareholders can still make money. And eventually, the shareholders will demand a dividend if there is enough money on the books for a payout.
