Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s $2.3 Billion compensation package is an example of poor corporate governance and a self-serving Board (ACCESS Our Commentary HERE). For examples of how to run a business well and fairly compensate CEOs for performance – look no further than CoStar (tkr: CSGP) and SS&C (tkr: SSNC).

Our CSGP and SSNC data tables (ACCESS CSGP & SSNC DATA HERE) provide financial performance detail around each company’s ability to consistently grow Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow (we’ve included figures from 2009-2019). Further, CEO compensation levels for each firm are reasonable and but a fraction of the substantial EBITDA each company generates (2.9% for CSGP and 0.8% for SSNC). See data table for more.
