How Does Jim Clemmer's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?

At the time of writing, our data says that AngioDynamics, Inc. has a market cap of US$620m, and reported total annual CEO compensation of US$3.0m for the year to May 2019. We think total compensation is more important but we note that the CEO salary is lower, at US$687k. Importantly, there may be performance hurdles relating to the non-salary component of the total compensation. We examined companies with market caps from US$400m to US$1.6b, and discovered that the median CEO total compensation of that group was US$2.5m.

So Jim Clemmer receives a similar amount to the median CEO pay, amongst 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.
