How Does Total Compensation For Jagarlamudi Mohan Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

According to our data, Jocil Limited has a market capitalization of ₹1.4b, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth ₹15m over the year to March 2020. Notably, that's an increase of 33% over the year before. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth acknowledging that the salary portion is lower, valued at ₹5.6m.

For comparison, other companies in the industry with market capitalizations below ₹15b, reported a median total CEO compensation of ₹6.4m. This suggests that Jagarlamudi Mohan is paid more than the median for the industry. What's more, Jagarlamudi Mohan holds ₹3.2m worth of shares in the company in their own name, indicating that they have a lot of skin in the game.

Speaking on an industry level, nearly 89% of total compensation represents salary, while the remainder of 11% is other remuneration. In Jocil's case, non-salary compensation represents a greater slice of total remuneration, in comparison to the broader industry. It's important to note that a slant towards non-salary compensation suggests that total pay is tied to the company's performance.

Jocil Limited's Growth

Jocil Limited's earnings per share (EPS) grew 209% per year over the last three years. In the last year, its revenue is up 28%.

This demonstrates that the company has been improving recently and is good news for the shareholders. It's great to see that revenue growth is strong, too. These metrics suggest the business is growing strongly. 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 Jocil Limited Been A Good Investment?

Since shareholders would have lost about 3.7% over three years, some Jocil Limited investors would surely be feeling negative emotions. Therefore, it might be upsetting for shareholders if the CEO were paid generously.

In Summary...

As previously discussed, Jagarlamudi is compensated more than what is normal for CEOs of companies of similar size, and which belong to the same industry. However, the EPS growth is certainly impressive, but it's disappointing to see negative shareholder returns over the same period. Although we don't think the CEO pay is too high, considering negative investor returns, it is more generous than modest.
