How Does Simon Lo's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
At the time of writing, our data says that Vision Values Holdings Limited has a market cap of HK$1.1b, and reported total annual CEO compensation of HK$6.1m for the year to June 2019. It is worth noting that the CEO compensation consists almost entirely of the salary, worth HK$6.0m. We looked at a group of companies with market capitalizations under HK$1.6b, and the median CEO total compensation was HK$1.8m.
It would therefore appear that Vision Values Holdings Limited pays Simon Lo 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.
