How Does Bin Mo's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
Our data indicates that Country Garden Holdings Company Limited is worth HK$235b, and total annual CEO compensation is CN¥69m. (This figure is for the year to December 2018). That's a notable increase of 103% on last year. While we always look at total compensation first, we note that the salary component is less, at CN¥15m. We looked at a group of companies with market capitalizations over CN¥55b and the median CEO total compensation was CN¥4.2m. Once you start looking at very large companies, you need to take a broader range, because there simply aren't that many of them.
Thus we can conclude that Bin Mo receives more in total compensation than the median of a group of large companies in the same market as Country Garden Holdings Company Limited. However, this doesn't necessarily mean the pay is too high. We can get a better idea of how generous the pay is by looking at the performance of the underlying business.
