How Does Chin Wen Tai's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
At the time of writing our data says that Kam Hing International Holdings Limited has a market cap of HK$470m, and is paying total annual CEO compensation of HK$4.7m. (This is based on the year to December 2018). We think total compensation is more important but we note that the CEO salary is lower, at HK$4.3m. We took a group of companies with market capitalizations below HK$1.6b, and calculated the median CEO total compensation to be HK$1.9m.
It would therefore appear that Kam Hing International Holdings Limited pays Chin Wen Tai more than the median CEO remuneration at companies of a similar size, in the same market. However, this fact alone doesn't mean the remuneration is too high. A closer look at the performance of the underlying business will give us a better idea about whether the pay is particularly generous.
