According to the latest filing by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Alphabet has granted significant performance-based equity incentives to CEO Sundar Pichai.

This grant consists of two parts: performance stock units (BPUs) of its autonomous driving subsidiary Waymo, with a target value of $130 million, and performance stock units of its logistics drone business Wing, with a target value of $45 million. The final value of these performance-based equities will be directly linked to the future performance of the respective business units, reflecting the company's emphasis on the long-term development of its innovative business segments. By closely tying executive compensation to the strategic goals of its subsidiaries, Alphabet aims to incentivize management to drive the commercialization of cutting-edge technologies. This equity arrangement continues the management strategy of tech giants to attract core talent through structural incentives.
