Companies will have rare/unique windfalls once in a while. I don't think it's really that outrageous.
People have rare windfalls too (one time job bonus, inheritance, etc.). Doesn't mean we should structure policy to make sure windfalls don't exist.

It'd be worth figuring out which and - if it's not luck - how to duplicate it elsewhere.
Same could be said for companies like AMC, whose stock meme rally allowed them to pay off significant company debts through no achievement of their own.
It's just a rare/lucky windfall.
