Comparing Continental Holdings Limited's CEO Compensation With The Industry

Our data indicates that Continental Holdings Limited has a market capitalization of HK$89m, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as HK$1.4m for the year to June 2025. This was the same amount the CEO received in the prior year. We note that the salary portion, which stands at HK$1.20m constitutes the majority of total compensation received by the CEO.

For comparison, other companies in the Hong Kong Luxury industry with market capitalizations below HK$1.6b, reported a median total CEO compensation of HK$2.0m. Accordingly, Continental Holdings pays its CEO under the industry median.

Salary HK$1.2m HK$1.2m 89%
Other HK$154k HK$154k 11%
Total Compensation HK$1.4m HK$1.4m 100%

Speaking on an industry level, nearly 91% of total compensation represents salary, while the remainder of 9% is other remuneration. Our data reveals that Continental Holdings allocates salary more or less in line with the wider market. If salary is the major component in total compensation, it suggests that the CEO receives a higher fixed proportion of the total compensation, regardless of performance.
