Comparing Get Nice Holdings Limited's CEO Compensation With The Industry
According to our data, Get Nice Holdings Limited has a market capitalization of HK$1.9b, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth HK$698k over the year to March 2025. That's a modest increase of 4.5% on the prior year. We note that the salary portion, which stands at HK$680.0k constitutes the majority of total compensation received by the CEO.
In comparison with other companies in the Hong Kong Capital Markets industry with market capitalizations ranging from HK$784m to HK$3.1b, the reported median CEO total compensation was HK$2.7m. In other words, Get Nice Holdings pays its CEO lower than the industry median.
| Component | 2025 | 2024 | Proportion (2025) |
| Salary | HK$680k | HK$650k | 97% |
| Other | HK$18k | HK$18k | 3% |
| Total Compensation | HK$698k | HK$668k | 100% |
On an industry level, around 88% of total compensation represents salary and 12% is other remuneration. Get Nice Holdings has gone down a largely traditional route, paying Eddie Kam a high salary, giving it preference over non-salary benefits. 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.
Get Nice Holdings Limited's Growth
Over the last three years, Get Nice Holdings Limited has shrunk its earnings per share by 19% per year. It achieved revenue growth of 22% over the last year.
The reduction in EPS, over three years, is arguably concerning. But in contrast the revenue growth is strong, suggesting future potential for EPS growth. 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. We don't have analyst forecasts, but you could get a better understanding of its growth by checking out this more detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.
Has Get Nice Holdings Limited Been A Good Investment?
With a total shareholder return of 13% over three years, Get Nice Holdings Limited shareholders would, in general, be reasonably content. But they would probably prefer not to see CEO compensation far in excess of the median.
In Summary...
Eddie receives almost all of their compensation through a salary. While the company seems to be headed in the right direction performance-wise, there's always room for improvement. If it manages to keep up the current streak, CEO remuneration could well be one of shareholders' least concerns. Rather, investors would more likely want to engage on discussions related to key strategic initiatives and future growth opportunities for the company and set their longer-term expectations.
