Not necessarily, but they could be, depends if they are in the business of financial capital or genuine productive enterprise. Capital benefits from stock markets and those examples are mostly about stock markets. Financial capitalism is the parasitic banking in cahoots with the accounting and legal sides which try to get an excessive share of that productivity without adding to it. An example is lobbying governments to flog off public assets which they then 'rent' back to the public like a landlord skimming a percentage at all turns and excessive profiteering.
Financialising everything into the opportunity to make a buck, like housing, roads, hospitals, hollows out an economy, kills manufacturing and produces unsustainable debt.
