The data in the following table:
The following data is intended to give me an overview of the
companies that may be paying their CEO's (and NEO's) so
much that I would have second thoughts about whether
those CEO's (and NEO's) are worth the diversion of
millions of dollars away from other company functions
--- such as paying shareholders dividends to compensate
them for 'parking' their money into the company stock ---
and functions such as putting money into assets and company
employees that will enhance the value of the company.
You might notice that there are some 'always in the news'
companies missing from this list --- such as
auto-makers like General Motors and Ford --- and
financial institutions like Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs.
These are companies that I will probably never invest in
--- for one reason or another.
However, you can use links on this page to find this
data for companies other than the 200-plus below.
The data consists of columns for:
-
company name
(which a link to a web page that gives general
information about the company)
-
company stock symbol
(which is a link to a site with much more
financial information about the company)
-
Year of the following data
(the year-of-the-data from the 'proxy statement' that
contained the ratio data)
-
reported CEO pay ratio,
which shows great variability --- from about 10 to the 1000's
(which is a link to a 'salary.com' page that gives CEO-pay-ratio
data)
-
reported CEO compensation
(in millions of dollars)
-
reported compensation of a 'median employee'
(in millions of dollars --- typically
a small fraction of the CEO compensation
--- on the order of 0.1 or less)
(NOTE: a number like .0754 means $75,400 per year
so any number less than 0.0500 is compensation less than $50,000/year)
-
total number of employees
(which is a link to a 'macrotrends.net' page
that presents a bar chart of yearly employee counts)
-
total number of U.S. employees
(if readily available)
-
related notes
The data can be sorted by clicking on any column heading.
The data (pay-ratio & CEO-compensation in millions)
are presented to about 3
'significant digit' accuracy.
Three digits are sufficient to express the reported values to within
one percent accuracy (or better).
For the purposes of this sortable table, presenting more digits
would be 'over-kill'.
In the table columns, 'TBD' = 'To Be Determined'. TBD entries
sort to the top of the table (ascending sort) or to the
bottom of the table (descending sort).
Sources of the data in the table:
The CEO-pay-ratio data (including CEO & median employee pay)
was initially obtained (for many of the companies)
from their Proxy statements, in various years (circa 2013 to 2021).
Later (in 2022) I found that the pay-ratio data was available at
a series of about 100 pages at 'salary.com', or in
individual company pages at 'salary.com' (the pay-ratio links below).
I may use data from either source --- proxy statements or 'salary.com'.
The company name is a link for general information on the
company. It is a Wikipedia link if there is a page for the company
on Wikipedia. If not, the link is a WEB SEARCH on keywords including
the company name.
The company stock symbol is a link for financial information
on the company. This will usually be a link to a 'key-statistics' page
at 'finance.yahoo.com'.
The year-of-the-data will be the year that the company assigned
to the CEO-ratio data in their proxy statement.
(Note that, in most cases, the data is for the company's fiscal-year, not
a calendar-year. So we use the year to which the company assigns the data.)
The approximate total employees is a link to a 'number-of-employees'
page for the company at 'macrotrends.net'. A bar-chart is presented
showing the data for up to about 10 years in the past.
The approximate total U.S. employees is seldom readily available
and may be simply entered as 'TBD'. It may take significant further
effort to find this data.
The Notes are often some comments pertinent to the pay-ratio
that were mentioned in a proxy statement of the company.
Foreign companies (Canadian, German, etc.) typically do not report
a CEO-pay-ratio. The 'Notes' column is used to indicate this fact.
Although the CEO-pay-ratio is not available for these companies,
the CEO-compensation is often reported, but not necessarily in
U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollars figure may eventually be filled in
for some of these companies.
Data Table Usage (sorting)
You can sort the table according to any data column. So, for example,
you can sort the table by 'CEO Pay Ratio' or by 'CEO compensation'
or by 'median employee compensation' or by 'number of employees'
--- ascending or descending.
You can also sort the table by 'company name' or by 'stock symbol'
(a link to a stock-info page) --- the first two columns.
When this web page is (re)loaded, the table rows are presented
in order by company name.
When you are in the middle of the table and are wondering
what a number represents (in a cell in a certain row and
column), you can position your pointer device over the cell.
A small popup window will tell you whether the number
is a 'pay ratio' or compensation (CEO or median employee)
or number of employees (total or U.S.).
This should work in most web browsers on desktop computers.
Perhaps not in browsers on mobile devices such as cell phones
and tablet computers.
Some recommended sorts:
Sort the 'CEO-compensation' column to readily see the companies
with the largest (and smallest) CEO-compensation figures.
Sort the 'Median-employee-compensation' column to readily see the companies
with the largest (and smallest) median-employee-compensation figures.
Sort the 'Total-number-of-employees' column to readily see the companies
with the largest (and smallest) number-of-employees.
Sort the 'CEO-pay-ratio' column to readily see the companies
with the largest (and smallest) pay-ratio figures.
Sort the 'Year-of-the-data' column to readily see the companies
with the most recent (or oldest) data in the table.
You can use the 'salary.com' and 'macrotrends.net' links to update old data.
You are welcome to take a copy of this web page and update it
and change it to your liking.
HOW TO SORT
Click on any column heading to sort the data table by the data
in the selected column.
The data can be sorted in either ascending or descending order.
Click the column heading again if it is not in the order that
you want.
Searching this page :
If you are looking for some particular information, you can use
the text search function of your web browser.
For example, if you are looking for information on a specific company,
you can enter a character-string such as 'veriz' or 'conoco'
in the text search entry field of your web browser, to find
info (on this page) on a company such as Verizon or Conoco-Phillips.
More info on these (& other) companies :
Below the data table on this page, there is a
section of links
to various sites that provide company data on
NEO compensation --- and other kinds of company data
--- such as 'performance' data, like Revenues and
'Net Income' and current-liabilities(debt) and
long-term-liabilities(debt) and 'Debt/Equity-ratio' and Dividends.
Information links for about 800-plus companies are on a single
Stock Price Histories web page of this site.
In fact, essentially all of the 200-plus companies on this page
are listed on that 'Stock Price Histories' web page.
When you are investigating various companies,
you can open that 'Stock Price Histories' page in a separate window
while looking at this page --- to see additional information
(and info-links) for any of these companies.
Updating this page :
I may fill in some 'TBD' data over time, such as the
'CEO-compensation' for foreign-headquartered companies
(in U.S. dollars) and the 'number-of-UnitedStates-employees'
data.
I may eventually add more companies to this page, probably taken
from the 800-plus companies on the
Stock Price Histories web page of this site.
I may also update 'old' data for companies on this page in future years
--- probably by using the 'salary.com' and 'macrotrends.net' links ---
but don't count on much updating.
I may reach my 'expiration date' before updating can be done.
Hence the invitation for anyone to take a
copy of this page and maintain it into the future.
Enough of this Introduction.
Below is the 'Data Table'.
