Winmark Corp AI Insights
Informational only. Not investment advice.Snapshot
- Negative equity (-26.3M) with 62.6M debt yet generates 44.7M FCF TTM - asset-light franchise model funds itself entirely from operations.[Free Cash Flow TTM]
- ROA of 78% TTM vs industry median 1% - 78x capital efficiency advantage from franchise royalty model requiring minimal assets.[Return on Assets TTM]
- Operating margin 64% TTM vs industry median 18% - 3.5x advantage with 96% gross margin shows pure royalty economics.[Operating Margin TTM]
Watch Triggers
- Total Revenue TTM: Decline >5% YoY — Signals franchisee closures - royalty model has no backlog to smooth revenue drops
- Operating Margin TTM: Falls below 60% — Would indicate corporate cost creep eroding franchise economics advantage
- Long Term Debt: Exceeds 1.5x annual FCF — Currently 1.4x - further leverage risks dividend sustainability
Bull Case
Franchise royalty model generates 53% FCF margin TTM with near-zero capex - franchisees bear all operating costs while WINA collects fees.
39.7M cash (74% of assets) covers 1.6x annual dividends with FCF fully funding buybacks - no external capital needed despite negative equity.
Bear Case
P/S of 17.7x vs industry median 4.1x and P/E of 36x vs median 29x - premium valuation leaves little margin for franchisee weakness.
84.5M TTM revenue is tiny vs industry median 689M - limited scale means single-digit franchisee losses could materially impact results.
