How Does Total Compensation For Weng Mun Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

According to our data, Woodlandor Holdings Berhad has a market capitalization of RM23m, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth RM341k over the year to June 2025. That's mostly flat as compared to the prior year's compensation. We note that the salary portion, which stands at RM264.0k constitutes the majority of total compensation received by the CEO.

On comparing similar-sized companies in the Malaysia Building industry with market capitalizations below RM825m, we found that the median total CEO compensation was RM340k. This suggests that Woodlandor Holdings Berhad remunerates its CEO largely in line with the industry average. Moreover, Weng Mun also holds RM4.2m worth of Woodlandor Holdings Berhad stock directly under their own name, which reveals to us that they have a significant personal stake in the company.

On an industry level, around 80% of total compensation represents salary and 20% is other remuneration. Although there is a difference in how total compensation is set, Woodlandor Holdings Berhad more or less reflects the market in terms of setting the salary. 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.

Woodlandor Holdings Berhad's Growth

Woodlandor Holdings Berhad has reduced its earnings per share by 28% a year over the last three years. Its revenue is down 1.7% over the previous year.

Has Woodlandor Holdings Berhad Been A Good Investment?

With a three year total loss of 23% for the shareholders, Woodlandor Holdings Berhad would certainly have some dissatisfied shareholders. Therefore, it might be upsetting for shareholders if the CEO were paid generously.
