Chesapeake Utilities Corp: what insiders have been doing
Chesapeake Utilities Corp, founded in 1859, is a Energy company based in Dover, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). Between 18 October 2025 and 18 October 2026, 7 insiders published 22 filings.
There is no open-market purchase to report; the filings show 8 sales worth €3.0M by 3 insiders. At €904k, the sale published on 26 May 2026 by Householder Jeffry M is the largest of the period (0.031% of market cap).
The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 4 days. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
Across the 5,811 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 19 filings; at 22 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Since 2021, the database holds 1 purchase and 26 sales by insiders of the company. On the fundamentals side, the SEC filing (10-K) for the period ending 31 December 2025 lists revenue at 930.0 m USD and net income at 140.3 m USD; the dividend was 2.69 USD per share.

About Chesapeake Utilities Corp
Chesapeake Utilities Corporation is a U.S.-listed company traded on the NYSE under the ticker CPK. For French-speaking investors in Europe, it is best understood as a diversified regional energy-delivery group rather than a pure-play utility. The company was formed in 1947 as a Delaware corporation, and its corporate headquarters are in Dover, Delaware, United States. Its investment case rests on a relatively stable regulated utility base, complemented by adjacent growth businesses across the energy value chain.
Chesapeake Utilities operates primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Ohio. Its business portfolio includes natural gas distribution, electricity distribution, propane distribution, natural gas transmission, electricity and steam generation, and mobile compressed natural gas and other energy-related services. The company therefore combines classic utility characteristics — predictable cash flow, regulated returns, and infrastructure-backed earnings — with more commercially flexible businesses that can generate additional growth.

Its operations are organized across several core platforms. On the regulated side, Chesapeake Utilities serves customers through natural gas distribution and transmission networks, as well as electric distribution in Florida. On the unregulated side, it participates in propane distribution, natural gas transmission and supply, electricity and steam generation, and mobile CNG/RNG and virtual pipeline solutions through Marlin Gas Services. Marlin Gas Services is particularly noteworthy because it provides mobile compressed gas logistics, emergency pipeline services, temporary hold services, and specialized energy transport solutions throughout the United States. The group also highlights sustainable investments, especially renewable natural gas projects, as part of its long-term growth strategy.
From a competitive standpoint, Chesapeake Utilities stands out for its disciplined capital allocation and its willingness to expand along the gas value chain. The company emphasizes territory expansion, pipeline projects, customer growth, and service innovation rather than relying solely on traditional utility rate-base growth. In Florida, in particular, recent regulatory approvals and infrastructure projects underscore the company’s ability to convert population growth and system reliability needs into long-duration investment opportunities. This geographic mix gives CPK a more dynamic profile than many smaller regulated utilities.
Recent developments have reinforced that profile. The company’s 2025 annual report highlighted ongoing expansion in Florida, including projects tied to distribution reinforcement, customer growth, and renewable natural gas transport. It also noted the acquisition of Florida City Gas in November 2023, which broadened the Florida platform. In May 2026, Chesapeake Utilities reported first-quarter 2026 results and announced a quarterly dividend increase, supporting the view that management continues to balance growth investment with shareholder returns. The company has paid a cash dividend for 65 consecutive years, which is an important quality signal for income-oriented investors. Overall, Chesapeake Utilities is a specialized U.S. energy delivery company on the NYSE that combines defensive utility characteristics with selective growth exposure.
