I don’t understand why inflation is such a threat to stocks ???


I really don’t understand why inflation is such a threat to stock prices. Like why does inflation cause the price of everything to increase- groceries, fuel, housing, etc etc but yet the price of stocks are supposed to go down ???? I mean I understand that input cost for companies like labor, raw materials, etc go up which effects earnings but they also charge more for finished products (I mean has anyone been to the grocery store lately) so shouldn’t it even out as far as earnings are concerned ? I don’t get why I am supposed to be so worried about this
