Having more cash than idle cash requirements is costly and could lead to mis use of company's assets Excess cash could be invested in treasury bills that is highly liquid and can be transferred to cash without significantly loss

in a point of view, cash shows how liquid your company is,  business can settle their debt any point in time, and days of receivable less if company has the debt to collect ,but as to relate to the managing  particularly excessive cash appears that it seems the company did not maximizing their resources as to their potential and growth like investing stocks, in bond or other financing activities.

on the contrary, having too much cash in the company is a signal that the company have no growth prospects, as they are unable to invest the cash in expanding the operations, and or develop the company further.

Having cash in business is always a good sign. How ever if cash is idle and not deployed prudently is not a healthy sign and it cannot be said company is managed well. The company is managed only if cqsh is invested/ used smartly

Not necessarily, having a good amount of cash in the company's portfolio is good, but too much cash is not. Having more cash in the company means that funds and resources are not being invested and managed properly. The company should have foresight as to where potential investments can be ventured.

From my view I think its not necessary for the company to have more money than what they need ,its better to invest money in stocks or bonds if their is extra than what they need specially that money value in money countries have no value but it must be affected on the current assets so it can affect the company working capital direct.
