One-time stock awards for CEOs in fiscal year 2018 are up, compared to the previous two years.

Compensation experts aren’t sure these blockbuster special awards are part of a trend with a lot of legs, though. Judging by the voter support levels, many shareholders were irked by the amounts for the one-time stock awards. Several of the companies that awarded large amounts received low shareholder support for say-on pay.
