How Does Total Compensation For Zhanjiang Wu Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?
At the time of writing, our data shows that OneForce Holdings Limited has a market capitalization of HK$82m, and reported total annual CEO compensation of CN¥843k for the year to March 2025. That's mostly flat as compared to the prior year's compensation. Notably, the salary which is CN¥674.0k, represents most of the total compensation being paid.
For comparison, other companies in the Hong Kong Software industry with market capitalizations below HK$1.6b, reported a median total CEO compensation of CN¥1.3m.
