Executive Compensation Module — Pay-for-Performance & Shareholder Alignment
Analyzes executive compensation data from SEC DEF 14A proxy filings:
- CEO & top 5 executive compensation breakdown
- Pay-for-performance correlation (TSR vs compensation)
- Peer group comparison
- Shareholder alignment metrics (insider ownership, equity mix)
- Equity dilution and burn rate analysis
- Say-on-pay vote results
Data Sources:
- SEC EDGAR: DEF 14A proxy statements
- Yahoo Finance: Stock performance (TSR calculation)
- Insider ownership data from Form 4 filings
