Scotts Miracle-Gro Co: what insiders have been doing

Both sides are active: 1 purchase worth €42k and 3 sales worth €4.5M, from 1 insider and 1 insider respectively. Netting one side against the other leaves €4.5M of net selling. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. On the buying side, the filings list 1 finance chief among the declarants. Hagedorn Partnership, L.P. filed the largest sale, €2.8M, on 13 February 2026.
With 83 filings in twelve months, the company is more active than the median of 19 filings across the 5,811 companies we follow on the same exchange.

The most recent open-market purchase was published on 25 February 2026, 235 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 4 days after it takes place. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives.

About Scotts Miracle-Gro Co
The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG) is a U.S.-listed company headquartered in Marysville, Ohio, United States, focused on consumer lawn, garden, and outdoor living products. Its roots date back to 1868, when Civil War veteran Orlando M. Scott opened a hardware store in Marysville and began selling weed-free grass seed. The modern company took shape in 1995 through the merger of Scotts and Miracle-Gro, the latter founded in 1951 by Horace Hagedorn and Otto Stern. Today, SMG is one of the best-known branded players in the North American consumer lawn-and-garden market.
Its competitive strength is built on a portfolio of highly recognizable brands. Scotts and Turf Builder cover lawn fertilizer and grass seed; Miracle-Gro spans soil, plant food, and gardening products; Ortho is used for herbicides and pesticides; and Tomcat addresses rodent control and animal repellent needs. Historically, the company also operated Hawthorne, a professional horticulture and indoor/hydroponic gardening business, but this business was sold in 2026, sharpening the company’s focus on its core consumer franchise.

Operationally, Scotts Miracle-Gro benefits from a broad North American footprint, with reach across the United States and Canada supported by manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and R&D sites. Management describes the company as the leading marketer of branded consumer lawn-and-garden products in North America. That leadership position is driven less by scale alone than by brand equity, shelf presence, category expertise, and long-standing relationships with major retail channels.
From an investor perspective, the business has several defining characteristics. Demand is highly seasonal, with a meaningful share of sales concentrated in the spring and summer gardening cycle. The company is therefore sensitive to weather patterns, consumer confidence, and retail inventory decisions. At the same time, the group has been working to simplify its portfolio and strengthen balance-sheet flexibility. A major recent milestone was the completion of the sale of Hawthorne Gardening Company to Vireo Growth in April 2026, following earlier disclosure in January 2026 that advanced discussions were underway. SEC filings in 2025 and 2026 also pointed to covenant management, financing activity, and non-cash charges tied to Hawthorne’s divestiture.
For French, Belgian, and Swiss investors, SMG represents a mature U.S. branded consumer company with a long heritage, strong legacy brands, and a focused North American market position, while remaining exposed to seasonality and execution risk.
