Significance 6

CPK President & CEO Jeffry M Householder sells 10,000 shares for $1,261,220.79 across 3 transactions on 2026-05-21

Jeffry M Householder, President & CEO of Chesapeake Utilities, executed 3 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $1,261,220.79 at blended average price $126.12, reducing his holdings from 73,001 to 63,001 shares (-13.7%). The sales occurred at prices ($125.40, $126.27, $127.56) near current market levels ($127.10), with the stock trading -9.6% from its 52-week high of $140.59. At this ticker, Householder's prior 5 open-market sales showed mixed timing outcomes: 3 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, while his broader cross-ticker track record across 8 prior sells shows an average 90-day return of +0.8% with a 90d well-timed rate of 37.50%. The company's fundamentals remain solid: Revenue $353,100,000.00 in the latest quarter, net income $59,300,000.00, annual revenue growth of +18.1%, and P/E of 20.53. The sale represents a discretionary reduction in an insider's substantial remaining position rather than a complete exit.

Significance 4

CEO Householder sells 10,592 shares at blended avg $127.81 across 5 transactions (Dec 18-19); retains 53,824 shares post-sale

Jeffry M Householder, President & CEO of Chesapeake Utilities, executed 5 separate sales totaling 10,592 shares for $1,353,814.37 between December 18–19, 2025, at an average price of $127.81. The current price of $124.40 reflects a -10.5% decline from the 52-week high of $139.06, and the stock has fallen 9.3% over 30 days and 6.4% over 90 days. His prior three sales at CPK (December 16–17) were recent and have no measurable outcomes yet, preventing assessment of whether his recent trading pattern is temporally well-timed. Post-transaction, Householder retains 53,824 shares, representing a -16.4% reduction in his position. The timing of these consecutive daily sales during a period of stock weakness, combined with the magnitude of the reduction (10.6K shares), merits tracking but is not yet conclusive about intent given the brief window and early outcomes data.

Significance 5

CPK President & CEO Householder sells 12,500 shares in 3 transactions for $1.6M at blended average $126.73

Jeffry M Householder, President & CEO of Chesapeake Utilities, executed 3 separate sales on 2025-12-16 and 2025-12-17, liquidating 12,500 shares (12.5K shares) for $1,584,157.28 ($1.6M) at a blended average price of $126.73. The transaction reduced his holdings from 76,916 shares (76.9K shares) to 64,416 shares (64.4K shares), representing a -16.3% reduction in his position. The sales occurred at prices modestly below the current price of $128.77, with the stock trading -7.4% from its 52-week high of $139.06 and -5.3% over the 30-day period. His cross-ticker track record shows only 2 prior open-market sells across all holdings, making this a relatively infrequent transaction pattern for the CEO; however, his prior same-ticker trades at CPK are not yet measurable at the 90-day mark to establish a timing pattern.

CFO Cooper Beth W sells 5,000 shares of CPK at blended average $132.15; retains 90.7K shares post-transaction

Cooper Beth W (Executive VP & CFO) executed 2 separate sales totaling 5,000 shares for $660,730.09 at an average price of $132.15, reducing her stake from 95,713 to 90,713 shares. The transaction occurred near the company's 52-week high of $135.50, with the stock up 9.4% over 30 days and 11.4% over 90 days. As a continuing substantial shareholder with 90.7K shares remaining, the CFO maintains material economic exposure to the company. The sale represents a 5.2% reduction in her pre-transaction holdings, which is a modest adjustment to her overall position during a period of recent positive price momentum.

Director Paul L Maddock Jr sold entire 17,997-share stake in CPK for $2,045,479.70 across 3 transactions (Aug 12-13)

Director Paul L Maddock Jr executed 3 separate sales totaling 17,997 shares for $2,045,479.70, eliminating his entire equity position in Chesapeake Utilities. The sales occurred on August 12-13 at prices ranging from $113.56 to $114.41, representing near-current levels ($113.89) within the 52-week range of $86.71–$119.46. Complete divestiture of a director's full holdings is a material capital event, signaling a departure from or fundamental shift in the insider's relationship with the company. With Chesapeake Utilities trading at a P/E of 23.98 and annual revenue contracting 1.5% year-over-year, the timing and completeness of this exit warrants investor review of concurrent governance or operational developments.
