How Does Hengde Qin's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
At the time of writing, our data says that Sinofert Holdings Limited has a market cap of HK$5.5b, and reported total annual CEO compensation of CN¥6.1m for the year to December 2018. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth noting the salary is lower, valued at CN¥1.8m. We further remind readers that the CEO may face performance requirements to receive the non-salary part of the total compensation. We examined companies with market caps from CN¥2.8b to CN¥11b, and discovered that the median CEO total compensation of that group was CN¥3.0m.
