So they've made some money on their investment. Thats how it works.
And if they believe that the investment has topped out at that price, they'll want to sell. They won't be satisfied with a zero return just because they made money in the past. That's also how it works.

‘Past performance is no indicator of future results.’ How often have we all seen that phrase?
