Simply wallstreet article on PKK CEO pay.
Johnson Joseph has been the CEO of Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. (CNSX:PKK) since 2011. This report will, first, examine the CEO compensation levels in comparison to CEO compensation at companies of similar size. After that, we will consider the growth in the business. And finally we will reflect on how common stockholders have fared in the last few years, as a secondary measure of performance. This method should give us information to assess how appropriately the company pays the CEO.
How Does Johnson Joseph’s Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
Our data indicates that Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. is worth CA$39m, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as CA$262k for the year to December 2018. While we always look at total compensation first, we note that the salary component is less, at CA$117k. We took a group of companies with market capitalizations below CA$265m, and calculated the median CEO total compensation to be CA$179k.
It would therefore appear that Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. pays Johnson Joseph more than the median CEO remuneration at companies of a similar size, in the same market. However, this fact alone doesn’t mean the remuneration is too high. A closer look at the performance of the underlying business will give us a better idea about whether the pay is particularly generous. Although we don’t have analyst forecasts you might want to assess this data-rich visualization of earnings, revenue and cash flow.

Has Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. Been A Good Investment?
