Is ID Logistics Group SA Growing?
On average over the last three years, ID Logistics Group SA has shrunk earnings per share by 9.0% each year. It achieved revenue growth of 6.6% over the last year.
Sadly for shareholders, earnings per share are actually down, over three years. And the modest revenue growth over 12 months isn’t much comfort against the reduced earnings per share. It’s hard to argue the company is firing on all cylinders, so shareholders might be averse to high CEO remuneration.

Has ID Logistics Group SA Been A Good Investment?
ID Logistics Group SA has served shareholders reasonably well, with a total return of 25% over three years. But they probably don’t want to see the CEO paid more than is normal for companies around the same size.
In Summary…
It appears that ID Logistics Group SA remunerates its CEO below most similar sized companies.
Eric Hémar is remunerated more modestly than is a normal at similar sized companies. But the business isn’t growing earnings per share, and the returns to shareholders haven’t been wonderful. We would like to see EPS growth from the business, although we wouldn’t say the CEO pay is high. CEO compensation is one thing, but it is also interesting to check if the CEO is buying or selling ID Logistics Group (free visualization of insider trades).
