Boeing Co.’s best-paid executives weren’t the best paid in the U.S. aerospace and defense industry last year. According to Tim McLaughlin of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, however, they delivered more bang for the buck than their peers when it came to boosting shareholder value.
McLaughlin used recently filed proxy statements by Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin for his calculations, and noted the sharply divergent ways these companies reward their executives.
