Let It Snow: CEOs with Cozy Pay and Cold Returns
Where CEO pay climbed and performance sank last year
Danaher and United Parcel Service were among roughly 60 firms in the Russell 1000 index at which total shareholder return sank last year while their CEOs’ pay climbed, according to data from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s pay-versus-performance disclosures.
Less than a quarter of major companies saw annual returns and executive compensation travel in opposite trajectories during the 2023 fiscal year, according to figures collected by the public company intelligence provider MyLogIQ.
