How Does Glen Robinson's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
At the time of writing our data says that Beacon Lighting Group Limited has a market cap of AU$228m, and is paying total annual CEO compensation of AU$520k. (This number is for the twelve months until June 2018). While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth noting the salary is lower, valued at AU$352k. When we examined a selection of companies with market caps ranging from AU$144m to AU$577m, we found the median CEO total compensation was AU$776k.
This would give shareholders a good impression of the company, since most similar size companies have to pay more, leaving less for shareholders. While this is a good thing, you'll need to understand the business better before you can form an opinion.
