Is Broadway Financial Corporation Growing?

On average over the last three years, Broadway Financial Corporation has shrunk earnings per share by 79% each year (measured with a line of best fit). Its revenue is down -4.3% over last year.

Few shareholders would be pleased to read that earnings per share are lower over three years. And the impression is worse when you consider revenue is down year-on-year. It's hard to argue the company is firing on all cylinders, so shareholders might be averse to high CEO remuneration. We don't have analyst forecasts, but you could get a better understanding of its growth by checking out this more detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.

Has Broadway Financial Corporation Been A Good Investment?

With a total shareholder return of 9.6% over three years, Broadway Financial Corporation has done okay by shareholders. But they probably wouldn't be so happy as to think the CEO should be paid more than is normal, for companies around this size.

In Summary...

We compared the total CEO remuneration paid by Broadway Financial Corporation, and compared it to remuneration at a group of similar sized companies. We found that it pays well over the median amount paid in the benchmark group.

Earnings per share have not grown in three years, and the revenue growth fails to impress us.
