"Really? Does the stock I own drop in value?"

Is the stock valued in dollars? If so then yes.

Example if you have a stock that is worth 100 dollars and inflation increases 1% would it not have 1% less in purchasing power just the same as a 1 dollar bill?

Doesn't inflation increase the value of the stuff the company makes?

My $100 bill can't increase prices on the products it sells, so no.
