The share price of Weizmann Limited (NSE:WEIZMANIND) has been growing in the past few years, however, the per-share earnings growth has been lacking, suggesting something is amiss. Some of these issues will occupy shareholders' minds as the AGM rolls around on 25th of September. They will be able to influence managerial decisions through the exercise of their voting power on resolutions, such as CEO remuneration and other matters, which may influence future company prospects. From the data that we gathered, we think that shareholders should hold off on a raise on CEO compensation until performance starts to show some improvement.

How Does Total Compensation For Neelkamal Siraj Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

Our data indicates that Weizmann Limited has a market capitalization of ₹1.7b, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as ₹17m for the year to March 2025. That's slightly lower by 4.3% over the previous year. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth acknowledging that the salary portion is lower, valued at ₹5.0m.

In comparison with other companies in the Indian Luxury industry with market capitalizations under ₹18b, the reported median total CEO compensation was ₹3.6m. This suggests that Neelkamal Siraj is paid more than the median for the industry.

Component	2025	2024	Proportion (2025)
Salary	₹5.0m	₹5.0m	29%
Other	₹12m	₹13m	71%
Total Compensation	₹17m	₹18m	100%

Talking in terms of the industry, salary represented approximately 99% of total compensation out of all the companies we analyzed, while other remuneration made up 1% of the pie. Weizmann sets aside a smaller share of compensation for salary, in comparison to the overall industry. If total compensation is slanted towards non-salary benefits, it indicates that CEO pay is linked to company performance.

A Look at Weizmann Limited's Growth Numbers

Over the last three years, Weizmann Limited has shrunk its earnings per share by 32% per year. It achieved revenue growth of 14% over the last year.

Overall this is not a very positive result for shareholders. And while it's good to see some good revenue growth recently, the growth isn't really fast enough for us to put aside my concerns around EPS. These factors suggest that the business performance wouldn't really justify a high pay packet for the CEO. 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 Weizmann Limited Been A Good Investment?

Weizmann Limited has generated a total shareholder return of 32% over three years, so most shareholders would be reasonably content. But they probably wouldn't be so happy as to think the CEO should be paid more than is normal, for companies around this size.

To Conclude...

Shareholder returns, while positive, should be looked at along with earnings, which have not grown at all recently. This makes us think the share price momentum may slow in the future. In the upcoming AGM, shareholders will get the opportunity to discuss any concerns with the board, including those related to CEO remuneration and assess if the board's plan will likely improve performance in the future.
