Comparing Rectifier Technologies Limited's CEO Compensation With the industry
At the time of writing, our data shows that Rectifier Technologies Limited has a market capitalization of AU$54m, and reported total annual CEO compensation of AU$426k for the year to June 2020. That's a notable increase of 16% on last year. We note that the salary portion, which stands at AU$353.2k constitutes the majority of total compensation received by the CEO.
On comparing similar-sized companies in the industry with market capitalizations below AU$264m, we found that the median total CEO compensation was AU$179k. Hence, we can conclude that Yanbin Wang is remunerated higher than the industry median. What's more, Yanbin Wang holds AU$1.2m worth of shares in the company in their own name, indicating that they have a lot of skin in the game.
| Component | 2020 | 2019 | Proportion (2020) |
| Salary | AU$353k | AU$304k | 83% |
| Other | AU$73k | AU$63k | 17% |
| Total Compensation | AU$426k | AU$367k | 100% |
On an industry level, roughly 71% of total compensation represents salary and 29% is other remuneration. It's interesting to note that Rectifier Technologies pays out a greater portion of remuneration through salary, compared to the industry. If salary is the major component in total compensation, it suggests that the CEO receives a higher fixed proportion of the total compensation, regardless of performance.

Has Rectifier Technologies Limited Been A Good Investment?
We think that the total shareholder return of 60%, over three years, would leave most Rectifier Technologies Limited shareholders smiling. This strong performance might mean some shareholders don't mind if the CEO were to be paid more than is normal for a company of its size.

As we noted earlier, Rectifier Technologies pays its CEO higher than the norm for similar-sized companies belonging to the same industry. But EPS growth and shareholder returns have been top-notch for the past three years. As a result of the excellent all-round performance of the company, we believe CEO compensation is fair.

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.
