How Does S. K. M. ShivKumar's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
According to our data, SKM Egg Products Export (India) Limited has a market capitalization of ₹1.1b, and pays its CEO total annual compensation worth ₹4.4m. (This is based on the year to March 2018). While we always look at total compensation first, we note that the salary component is less, at ₹4.1m. We examined a group of similar sized companies, with market capitalizations of below ₹14b. The median CEO total compensation in that group is ₹1.3m.

A closer look at the performance of the underlying business will give us a better idea about whether the pay is particularly generous.
You can see, below, how CEO compensation at SKM Egg Products Export (India) has changed over time.
Is SKM Egg Products Export (India) Limited Growing?
Over the last three years SKM Egg Products Export (India) Limited has shrunk its earnings per share by an average of 74% per year (measured with a line of best fit). In the last year, its revenue is up 5.3%.
Few shareholders would be pleased to read that earnings per share are lower over three years. And the modest revenue growth over 12 months isn't much comfort against the reduced earnings per share. These factors suggest that the business performance wouldn't really justify a high pay packet for the CEO. Although we don't have analyst forecasts, shareholders might want to examine this detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.
Has SKM Egg Products Export (India) Limited Been A Good Investment?
With a three year total loss of 38%, SKM Egg Products Export (India) Limited would certainly have some dissatisfied shareholders. This suggests it would be unwise for the company to pay the CEO too generously.
