Smith a O Corp: what insiders have been doing
Smith a O Corp, founded in 1889, is a Energy company based in Milwaukee, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). From 18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026, the disclosure feed for Smith a O Corp logged 17 filings by 13 insiders.
No insider bought on the market over the period, while 1 insider filed 1 sale totalling €71k. The largest single trade was a sale of €71k by Schuh Darrell W., published on 4 March 2026.
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. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning.
Compared with its exchange (5,813 companies, median 19 filings), a count of 17 filings is below the norm. Over the whole record (from 2016), the tally stands at 2 purchases and 39 sales. On the fundamentals side, the SEC filing (10-K) for the period ending 31 December 2025 lists revenue at 3.83 bn USD and net income at 546.2 m USD; the dividend was 1.38 USD per share.

About Smith a O Corp
A. O. Smith Corporation (NYSE: AOS) is a long-established U.S. industrial company focused on water technology, with a strong global footprint in water heating, boilers, and water treatment/purification solutions. Founded in 1874 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the company is still headquartered there today, making it one of the more enduring names in American manufacturing. Historically best known for water heaters and boiler systems, A. O. Smith has broadened its portfolio over time into higher-value water treatment, drinking-water purification, and, more recently, integrated water management solutions.
The company reports through two operating segments: North America and Rest of World. That structure highlights a business that remains heavily anchored in North America, where A. O. Smith is a leading supplier of residential and commercial water heaters and boilers. This part of the portfolio benefits from a relatively stable replacement cycle, supporting a more defensive demand profile than many cyclical industrial peers. Outside North America, the company focuses on water purification and treatment, particularly in Asia, where it is trying to build scale through brand expansion, product innovation, and strategic acquisitions.

The company says it serves customers in more than 60 countries and has operations in the United States, China, India, Mexico, Canada, the Netherlands, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and the United Kingdom. It also states that it serves approximately 80 countries globally and employs about 12,700 people worldwide. Its product set includes residential and commercial water heaters, boilers, filtration and purification systems, and temperature/flow management products.
Recent developments have reinforced the company’s strategic direction. In January 2026, A. O. Smith reported record 2025 diluted EPS of $3.85 and issued 2026 guidance. It also completed the acquisition of Leonard Valve in January 2026, a move designed to expand its presence in the water management market and strengthen its integrated offering for commercial and institutional customers. In 2024, the Pureit acquisition added scale in India and other emerging markets, supporting A. O. Smith’s international growth ambitions. For investors, the company stands out as a quality NYSE-listed U.S. water technology platform with a defensive core franchise, solid cash generation, and acquisition-led growth optionality.
