Was discussing with others GME’s cash holdings, and how usual or unusual that was amongst prominent companies.

Cash holdings alone don’t say much about the health of a company. More relevant questions include where the cash came from, and what they are planning to spend it on. If a company doesn’t effectively grow than a large cash position can be more of a liability than an asset.

I was curious about the ratios, pulled numbers online and just sharing it here for others. GME has a fairly large cash position compared to its market cap in this sample size, with General Electric standing out as a notable and large outlier with over half it’s market cap available in cash.
