2023年，美國公司首席財務官（CFO）的中位數支付顯著增長，這在很大程度上是由於股票激勵驅動。
What Happened: According to a report by C-Suite Comp, an executive pay analytics firm, this upsurge in CFO pay aligns with historical trends, a contrast to the exceptional rise observed in 2021, reports The Wall Street Journal.
據C-Suite Comp公司發佈的報告稱，CFO的工資上漲與歷史趨勢一致，與2021年觀察到的異常上漲形成對比，據《華爾街日報》報道。
Leading the charge in executive compensation are CFOs from diverse sectors such as technology, financial services, and retail.
在高管薪酬領域，來自科技、金融服務和零售等不同行業的CFO處於帶頭人的地位。
Notably, executives from companies like Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Blackstone Group Inc. (NYSE:BX), and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) topped the pay charts. Remarkably, half of the top-paid CFOs are women.
值得注意的是，沃爾瑪（NYSE:WMT）、蘋果公司（NASDAQ:AAPL）、黑石集團（NYSE:BX）和Alphabet Inc.（NASDAQ:GOOG）（NASDAQ:GOOGL）等公司的高管名列工資榜首。令人吃驚的是，排名前五的CFO中有一半是女性。
In some instances, CFOs like Alphabet's Ruth Porat and Aon Plc's (NYSE:AON) Christa Davies earned more than their respective CEOs, reflecting a shift in compensation dynamics within major corporations.
在某些情況下，像Alphabet公司的Ruth Porat和怡安保險公司（NYSE:AON）的Christa Davies等CFO的年薪甚至超過了他們各自的CEO。這反映了主要公司薪酬動態的轉變。

Stock-based pay, which varies with the market, constitutes a significant portion of executive pay. As a result, the 24% rise in the S&P 500 last year led to a corresponding increase in executive pay. For instance, Charter Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) CFO Jessica Fischer and Aon's Davies saw their stock options or awards rise more than sevenfold and threefold, respectively.
市場價格變動的股票激勵佔了高管薪酬的很大比例。因此，標準普爾500指數去年上漲24%，導致高管薪酬相應上漲。例如，特許通訊（NASDAQ:CHTR）的CFO Jessica Fischer和怡安保險的Davies看到他們的股票期權或獎勵分別增加了7倍和3倍以上。
Why It Matters: The dynamic economic and geopolitical landscape has firms prioritizing financial leadership, prompting them to offer competitive pay packages to retain top talent, according to industry experts.
行業專家表示，動態的經濟和地緣政治格局使公司優先考慮財務領導，促使它們提供競爭性薪酬方案以留住頂尖人才。

雖然CFO的工資大幅上漲，但也引起了爭議。尤其是在公司表現不佳時，高管薪酬受到了審查。
Shareholders often use votes on pay to voice their dissatisfaction with issues such as dividend policy or governance matters. This trend highlights the ongoing debate about executive compensation and the role of stock-based incentives in driving it.
股東常常利用對薪酬的投票來表達他們對股息政策或治理問題不滿的態度。這一趨勢凸顯了有關高管薪酬和股票激勵在推動其發展方面作用的持續辯論。
