How Does Marco Fuchs's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
Our data indicates that OHB SE is worth €552m, and total annual CEO compensation is €1.0m. (This number is for the twelve months until December 2018). We think total compensation is more important but we note that the CEO salary is lower, at €365k. We looked at a group of companies with market capitalizations from €364m to €1.5b, and the median CEO total compensation was €1.0m.
That means Marco Fuchs receives fairly typical remuneration for the CEO of a company that size. While this data point isn't particularly informative alone, it gains more meaning when considered with business performance.
You can see, below, how CEO compensation at OHB has changed over time.
Is OHB SE Growing?
OHB SE has increased its earnings per share (EPS) by an average of 6.4% a year, over the last three years (using a line of best fit). In the last year, its revenue is up 14%.
This revenue growth could really point to a brighter future. And the modest growth in earnings per share isn't bad, either. So while we'd stop just short of calling this a top performer, but we think it is well worth watching. You might want to check this free visual report on analyst forecasts for future earnings.
Has OHB SE Been A Good Investment?
