A. O. Smith Corporation
A maker of water heaters and water-treatment systems, A. O. Smith is one of the largest suppliers of residential and commercial water heaters in North America, sold under its own name and brands to homeowners, plumbers, and builders. It began in 1874 in Milwaukee as a small metalworking shop making parts for baby carriages and bicycles, and later built the first pressed-steel automobile frames for early automakers like Ford. The company is named after Arthur Oliver Smith, the founder's son, and it famously entered water heating through a 1930s process for fusing glass to steel—a trick first used on brewery beer kegs.

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: -4.97M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
