Comparing Hiper Global Ltd.'s CEO Compensation With The Industry

Our data indicates that Hiper Global Ltd. has a market capitalization of ₪805m, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as US$1.2m for the year to December 2024. That is, the compensation was roughly the same as last year. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth acknowledging that the salary portion is lower, valued at US$352k.

In comparison with other companies in the Israel Electronic industry with market capitalizations ranging from ₪323m to ₪1.3b, the reported median CEO total compensation was US$757k. This suggests that Shahaf Shrager is paid more than the median for the industry.

Component	2024	2023	Proportion (2024)
Salary	US$352k	US$349k	30%
Other	US$813k	US$813k	70%
Total Compensation	US$1.2m	US$1.2m	100%

On an industry level, roughly 55% of total compensation represents salary and 45% is other remuneration. In Hiper Global's case, non-salary compensation represents a greater slice of total remuneration, in comparison to the broader industry. If non-salary compensation dominates total pay, it's an indicator that the executive's salary is tied to company performance.

A Look at Hiper Global Ltd.'s Growth Numbers

Over the last three years, Hiper Global Ltd. has not seen its earnings per share change much, though there is a slight positive movement. Its revenue is down 2.5% over the previous year.

We would argue that the lack of revenue growth in the last year is less than ideal, but it is good to see a modest EPS growth at least. In conclusion we can't form a strong opinion about business performance yet; but it's one worth watching. While we don't have analyst forecasts for the company, shareholders might want to examine this detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.

Has Hiper Global Ltd. Been A Good Investment?

Hiper Global Ltd. has generated a total shareholder return of 16% over three years, so most shareholders would be reasonably content. But they probably don't want to see the CEO paid more than is normal for companies around the same size.

To Conclude...

Given that the company's overall performance has been reasonable, the CEO remuneration policy might not be shareholders' central point of focus in the upcoming AGM. However, any decision to raise CEO pay might be met with some objections from the shareholders given that the CEO is already paid higher than the industry average.

CEO compensation is one thing, but it is also interesting to check if the CEO is buying or selling Hiper Global (free visualization of insider trades).
