S&P 500

Coverage

Why CEORater

CEO performance matters. Here is the record, unscored.

Return Over Tenure

What the stock actually did while this CEO ran the company — from their start date to today, dividends included.

The Index, Same Window

The S&P 500 over exactly that tenure, on the same basis. Beating the market becomes a subtraction you can do yourself.

Pay Beside Performance

Total compensation from the latest proxy statement, sitting next to total stock return.

GICS Classification

Sectors and industries are S&P's own — the 11 GICS sectors and their sub-industries, matched company by company on SEC CIK. Not a vendor's approximation.

Free API, No Key

Every figure on this site is queryable at api.ceorater.com — no account, no signup, no key to request.

Kept Current

Prices refresh after each US market close, and any correction we make reaches this page within fifteen minutes. No stale snapshots.

AI Agents

Give your assistant the data

An MCP server, so an AI assistant can query CEORater directly. MCP is an open standard — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other clients all speak it.

pipx install ceorater-mcp

Then point your client at it. Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code use this form; other clients have their own way of adding a server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ceorater": {
      "command": "ceorater-mcp"
    }
  }
}

No API key and no environment block — that is the whole configuration. Six tools: look up a CEO, list or filter the roster by sector, industry or founder status, search, and read the GICS vocabulary. Full reference on the API page.
