Should You Worry About HRL Holdings Limited’s (ASX:HRL) CEO Pay Check?

ASX:HRL Past Future Earnings Mar 31st 18

What’s a reasonable CEO compensation?

Despite the fact that there is no cookie-cutter approach, as compensation should be tailored to the specific company and market, we can evaluate a high-level yardstick to see if HRL is an outlier. This outcome helps investors ask the right question about Dabelstein’s incentive alignment. Normally, an Australian small-cap is worth around $140M, generates earnings of $10M, and remunerates its CEO circa $500,000 per annum. Normally I would look at market cap and earnings as a proxy for performance, however, HRL’s negative earnings reduces the effectiveness of this method. Looking at the range of compensation for small-cap executives, it seems like Dabelstein is remunerated sensibly relative to peers. Overall, even though HRL is unprofitable, it seems like the CEO’s pay is fair.
