Comparing IBO Technology Company Limited's CEO Compensation With The Industry

At the time of writing, our data shows that IBO Technology Company Limited has a market capitalization of HK$1.2b, and reported total annual CEO compensation of CN¥979k for the year to March 2017. Notably, that's an increase of 134% over the year before. We think total compensation is more important but our data shows that the CEO salary is lower, at CN¥481k.

On comparing similar-sized companies in the industry with market capitalizations below HK$1.6b, we found that the median total CEO compensation was CN¥2.0m. Accordingly, IBO Technology pays its CEO under the industry median.

Talking in terms of the industry, salary represented approximately 74% of total compensation out of all the companies we analyzed, while other remuneration made up 26% of the pie. IBO Technology sets aside a smaller share of compensation for salary, in comparison to the overall industry. It's important to note that a slant towards non-salary compensation suggests that total pay is tied to the company's performance.

IBO Technology Company Limited's Growth

Over the last three years, IBO Technology Company Limited has shrunk its earnings per share by 35% per year. Its revenue is up 87% over the last year.

The decrease in EPS could be a concern for some investors. But on the other hand, revenue growth is strong, suggesting a brighter future. These two metrics are moving in different directions, so while it's hard to be confident judging performance, we think the stock is worth watching. Although we don't have analyst forecasts, you might want to assess this data-rich visualization of earnings, revenue and cash flow.

Has IBO Technology Company Limited Been A Good Investment?

IBO Technology Company Limited has served shareholders reasonably well, with a total return of 14% over three years. But they probably don't want to see the CEO paid more than is normal for companies around the same size.

In Summary...

The company's overall performance, while not bad, could be better. If it continues on the same road, shareholders might feel even more confident about their investment, and have little to no objections concerning CEO pay. Instead, investors might be more interested in discussions that would help manage their longer-term growth expectations such as company business strategies and future growth potential.
