Shake Shack (SHAK) - Get Report is overvalued and the level of skepticism about its shares on Wall Street is rising, said TheStreet's (TST) - Get Report Jim Cramer. Shake Shack reported earnings on Wednesday afternoon that left investors unsated despite an earnings beat. The burger-flipper said its same-restaurant growth declined from a year ago. However, the company's second-quarter earnings were $3.3 million, or 14 cents a share, beating analyst estimates of 13 cents. And net sales of $66.5 million, a rise of 37.2% from a year ago, also beat expectations of $63.2 million. Shake Shack said it plans to open 18 new U.S. restaurants in 2017, above the 16 initially forecast.
