We commend StarHub for putting shareholder returns as a key priority; it is front and centre in its annual reports, and a significant portion of the CEO’s compensation is tied to returns targets.
This is certainly not common among SGX listed companies, many of which do not even have Return on Equity (“ROE”) targets.
In fact, less than 20% of SGX companies have 5-year average ROE of more than 10%, which is approximately the cost of equity for most companies.
