Increases to CEO Compensation Might Be Put On Hold For Now at Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SGX:Z74)

Comparing Singapore Telecommunications Limited's CEO Compensation With The Industry

At the time of writing, our data shows that Singapore Telecommunications Limited has a market capitalization of S$50b, and reported total annual CEO compensation of S$3.3m for the year to March 2024. This means that the compensation hasn't changed much from last year. While we always look at total compensation first, our analysis shows that the salary component is less, at S$1.3m.

In comparison with other companies in the Singapore Telecom industry with market capitalizations over S$11b, the reported median total CEO compensation was S$790k. Accordingly, our analysis reveals that Singapore Telecommunications Limited pays Kuan Moon Yuen north of the industry median. What's more, Kuan Moon Yuen holds S$8.4m worth of shares in the company in their own name, indicating that they have a lot of skin in the game.

Component	2024	2023	Proportion (2024)
Salary	S$1.3m	S$1.3m	41%
Other	S$1.9m	S$2.1m	59%
Total Compensation	S$3.3m	S$3.4m	100%

On an industry level, roughly 57% of total compensation represents salary and 43% is other remuneration. In Singapore Telecommunications' case, non-salary compensation represents a greater slice of total remuneration, in comparison to the broader industry. If non-salary compensation dominates total pay, it's an indicator that the executive's salary is tied to company performance.

French electricity producers are bracing for a potential surge in taxes, according to four sources with knowledge of the matter, as concerns grow that a new administration will revive a recent proposal to tax large power plants. The outgoing government considered levying 40,000 euros ($44,000) per megawatt (MW) on domestic power plants with capacity above 260 MW, said one source at a major energy company.
