Open-market activity splits into 26 purchases totalling €131k and 9 sales totalling €4.5M; 15 insiders sit on the buying side and 8 insiders on the selling side.

The buyers include 8 senior executives, 4 finance chiefs and 1 chief executive. One trade stands out by size: a sale of €1.2M from Covey Patrick M, disclosed on 17 April 2026.
In the case of 26 purchases, another manager of the company was buying within the same 30 days. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 30 July 2026, 80 days ago. Filings reach the SEC (Form 4) feed a median of 3 days after the trade. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4.
With 77 filings in twelve months, the company is more active than the median of 19 filings across the 5,816 companies we follow on the same exchange. Looking back to 2016, when coverage begins, insiders filed 155 purchases and 40 sales.

About Davey Tree Expert Co
The Davey Tree Expert Company is a specialized provider of tree care, landscape management, and environmental services, relevant for investors looking for a defensive exposure to the U.S. field services and green infrastructure market. It is a privately held U.S. company rather than a NYSE/NASDAQ-listed equity, but it does appear in SEC Form 4 insider transaction data. The company is headquartered in Kent, Ohio, in the United States. Founded in 1880 by John Davey, a pioneer often described as the father of tree surgery, the business has a long heritage built around arboriculture, plant health, and a service philosophy captured by its historic motto: do it right or not at all. Davey has been employee-owned since 1979 and presents itself as one of the largest employee-owned companies in the United States.
Its operating model is built around several complementary business lines. In residential markets, Davey provides tree and shrub care, lawn services, diagnostics, and pest and disease treatment. In commercial markets, it offers grounds maintenance, landscape management, planting, pruning, snow and ice management, and multi-location site services. A major pillar is Utility Solutions, where Davey serves electric and utility customers with vegetation management along transmission and distribution corridors, right-of-way clearance, environmental permitting, project oversight, restoration, and compliance monitoring. The Environmental Consulting business adds capabilities in ecological restoration, permitting support, civil/environmental engineering, and related compliance work.

The company highlights broad North American reach, with operations in the United States and Canada, residential offices across 47 states, and more than 100 locations across North America. It also states that it has more than 12,000 employees. Its Kent headquarters has recently been expanded and modernized, and the company has invested in the SEED Campus, a facility focused on Science, Employee Education and Development, underscoring its commitment to research, training, and safety.
Recent corporate developments include the completion of major headquarters upgrades, continued investment in the SEED Campus, and ongoing expansion of service capabilities across residential, commercial, utility, and environmental end markets. For French-speaking investors, Davey is best viewed as a specialized industrial/environmental services platform tied to durable themes such as grid reliability, vegetation management, environmental compliance, and long-cycle infrastructure maintenance in the United States and Canada.
