NVE Corporation (NASDAQ: NVEC), a leading player in the semiconductors & related devices industry, has been under the spotlight recently due to its executive compensation, financial performance, and stock market position. Two key figures, Daniel A. Baker, President and CEO, and Peter G. Eames, Vice President of Advanced Technology, are pivotal in driving the company’s direction.
In 2025, Daniel A. Baker received a total compensation of $586,515, reflecting an interesting compensation structure consisting of a salary of $435,545, an option award of $57,045, incentive plan compensation of $80,658, and other compensation totaling $13,267. Notably, Baker did not receive a bonus or stock awards. This sum is slightly lower than his 2022 total compensation of $697,587, primarily due to a significant decrease in incentive plan compensation which stood at $271,562 in 2022, along with a modest salary increase. This change marks a strategic adaptation to align with the company’s evolving goals and the market dynamics[1].
Peter G. Eames, on the other hand, saw his total compensation for 2023 at $289,743. His compensation included a $215,000 salary, a $20,000 bonus, $43,000 in incentive plan compensation, and other forms of compensation amounting to $11,743. This reflects a steady increase from his 2020 compensation of $192,467. Eames’ compensation growth can be attributed to his pivotal role in advancing technology initiatives, demonstrated by the additional incentive and bonus provisions in 2023[2].
Amidst these internal adjustments, NVE Corporation's financial footing remains robust. The company recently announced plans to release its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, following its notable Q4 earnings that saw year-over-year growth attributed to robust demand for its magnetic sensor products[3]. Furthermore, despite a 16% stock decline following a 25% revenue drop in Q3 2025, NVE remains financially disciplined with $5.49 million in cash reserves and no debt[4]. The stock has experienced a recent surge to $70.73, marking a positive recovery trajectory, supported by its strong free cash flow and profitability, outperforming larger peers on margins through niche technological advancements[5].
The market reflects optimism for NVEC as the recovery in sales appears sustainable, alongside an attractive 4.7% dividend yield. This, combined with strategic US-centric manufacturing operations, positions NVE for stable future growth, despite potential tariff risks[6]. Stakeholders are keenly observing upcoming earnings announcements, set for July 15, 2025, to discern further insights into the company’s performance and strategy[7].
