Cash in Hand, Cash Mismanaged | Business and Finance News

from The Daily News Now! Business

Three cash-rich companies—Shake Shack, Wyndham, and Hillman—are failing to turn money into value. Shake Shack’s free cash flow margin is a meager 1.1%, Wyndham’s 21.1% looks decent but masks weak room revenue and poor investment returns, while Hillman’s sluggish growth and low cash generation leave little to reinvest or return to shareholders. All trade at high valuations despite underwhelming capital allocation, exposing a troubling pattern: they’re making cash, but not wisely. The real test isn’t how much you earn, but how you spend it.
