How Does Dave Bursic's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
Our data indicates that WVS Financial Corp. is worth US$30m, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as US$521k for the year to June 2019. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth noting the salary is lower, valued at US$380k. We examined a group of similar sized companies, with market capitalizations of below US$200m. The median CEO total compensation in that group is US$519k.
So Dave Bursic receives a similar amount to the median CEO pay, amongst the companies we looked at. While this data point isn't particularly informative alone, it gains more meaning when considered with business performance.
The graphic below shows how CEO compensation at WVS Financial has changed from year to year.
Is WVS Financial Corp. Growing?
Over the last three years WVS Financial Corp. has grown its earnings per share (EPS) by an average of 28% per year (using a line of best fit). Its revenue is up 5.5% over last year.
This shows that the company has improved itself over the last few years. Good news for shareholders. It's also good to see modest revenue growth, suggesting the underlying business is healthy. Although we don't have analyst forecasts you could get a better understanding of its growth by checking out this more detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.
Has WVS Financial Corp. Been A Good Investment?
WVS Financial Corp. has served shareholders reasonably well, with a total return of 24% 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...
Remuneration for Dave Bursic is close enough to the median pay for a CEO of a similar sized company .
Shareholder returns could be better but shareholders would be pleased with the positive EPS growth. As a result of these considerations, I would suggest the CEO pay is reasonable.

You’ve overlooked the activist investor factor. Travis Cocke’s Voss has announced 5% ownership through a 13G filing. They’ve added to that 5% since, and in doing so, have created a structural trap door for 27.42 Million Shares actively sold short. Chuck will announce lots of positives on July 29 but it’s what Voss announces shortly after that will rock the overextended Teledoc shorts. The Walmart partnership is the tip of the iceberg. The market is missing the sheer regulatory and enterprise friction of modern corporate healthcare. Teladoc isn't a "consumer app"; it is the primary digital infrastructure integrated directly into the legacy backends of Tier-1 insurance companies and fortune 500 employers, covering 105 million+ lives. Teladoc is acting as the digital top-of-funnel engine for the world's largest retailer. If Voss pushes the narrative that Teladoc is effectively the outsourced digital brain of Walmart's entire healthcare footprint, the fair value shifts from a basic health multiple to an enterprise distribution premium. Additionally , we are in a structural gold rush for high-quality, legally compliant, longitudinal medical data to train vertical healthcare AI models. Large technology hyperscalers and pharmaceutical giants cannot simply scrape the internet for this; they need structured clinical inputs. Teladoc sits on one of the largest de-identified virtual medical datasets on earth. From the activist playbook , we’ll see Voss demand the immediate creation of a Data & Diagnostics Licensing Division, transforming a legacy liability into an incredibly high-margin, pure-software data asset that requires zero human clinician hours to scale. Chuck is doing great work and deserves credi5 for the Teledoc turnaround but it will be Travis Cocke who will be responsible for a share price way beyond your $15 valuation.
