The aim of all this is to consider the appropriateness of CEO pay levels.

Is Catalent Inc Growing?

Catalent Inc has reduced its earnings per share by an average of 44% a year, over the last three years. In the last year, its revenue is up 19%.

Few shareholders would be pleased to read that earnings per share are lower over three years. There’s no doubt that the silver lining is that revenue is up. But it isn’t sufficiently fast growth wto overlook the fact that earnings per share has gone backwards over three years. So given this relatively weak performance, shareholders would probably not want to see high compensation for the CEO.
