Iveda Solutions shares surge 16.38% intraday as investors react to AGM and CEO compensation disclosure.

Iveda Solutions surged 16.38% intraday after announcing its Annual General Meeting on December 5 and disclosing CEO David Ly’s total compensation of US$225k, which is 58% below the industry median. The report highlighted that Ly’s salary constitutes 84% of his pay, contrasting with the industry’s 11% average salary proportion, suggesting a more fixed compensation structure potentially aligned with cost discipline. While the company’s three-year shareholder return was -77%, the lower-than-expected CEO pay and upcoming AGM may have alleviated investor concerns about executive incentives, sparking optimism about governance improvements or strategic adjustments.
