How Does Hooi Cheong's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
According to our data, Tian Teck Land Limited has a market capitalization of HK$4.1b, and pays its CEO total annual compensation worth HK$2.4m. (This is based on the year to March 2018). We think total compensation is more important but we note that the CEO salary is lower, at HK$1.6m. As part of our analysis we looked at companies in the same jurisdiction, with market capitalizations of HK$1.6b to HK$6.3b. The median total CEO compensation was HK$1.9m.
So Hooi Cheong is paid around the average of the companies we looked at. This doesn't tell us a whole lot on its own, but looking at the performance of the actual business will give us useful context.
You can see, below, how CEO compensation at Tian Teck Land has changed over time.
Is Tian Teck Land Limited Growing?
Tian Teck Land Limited has reduced its earnings per share by an average of 61% a year, over the last three years (measured with a line of best fit). In the last year, its revenue is down -4.5%.
Sadly for shareholders, earnings per share are actually down, over three years. And the impression is worse when you consider revenue is down year-on-year. 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, you could get a better understanding of its growth by checking out this more detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.
Has Tian Teck Land Limited Been A Good Investment?
Tian Teck Land Limited has served shareholders reasonably well, with a total return of 17% over three years. But they probably don't want to see the CEO paid more than is normal for companies around the same size.
In Summary...
Remuneration for Hooi Cheong is close enough to the median pay for a CEO of a similar sized company .
The company isn't growing earnings per share, and nor have the total returns inspired us. We do not think the CEO pay is a problem, but one might argue that the company should improve returns to shareholders before increasing it. CEO compensation is one thing, but it is also interesting to check if the CEO is buying or selling Tian Teck Land (free visualization of insider trades).
