Show HN: Tracking CEO compensation, and its correlation with performance
- greatwave1 6y agoI built this dashboard using data from the IEX Cloud API and Python. I was surprised to find such a small correlation between CEO compensation and stock performance, especially considering that many CEOs' compensation packages are directly tied to stock returns. It was also interesting to see that Elon Musk received almost 10x more compensation than any other Russell 3000 CEO last year, primarily due to the large performance incentives included in his contract.
- bbgm 6y agoHaven't looked in any detail, but as I clicked around the thing that jumped out at me was how many in the "lower comp, higher returns" category were from healthcare/biotech. Wonder if there is a way to slice and dice by industry/segement?
