Essential Utilities, Inc.
A holding company that delivers drinking water, wastewater treatment, and natural gas to millions of homes and businesses across the US under two brands: Aqua for water and Peoples for gas. Its roots reach back to an 1886 Pennsylvania water company, and it took its current name in 2020 after buying Pittsburgh's Peoples Natural Gas — founded in 1885 by Joseph Pew, the same man who later built Sunoco.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over all recorded history: -2.13M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
