Davey Tree Expert Co EVP Ina Gregory Buys 308 Shares

What Happened

• Ina Gregory M, Executive Vice President, Institute & Employee Development, purchased 308 common shares on 2026-06-30 at $23.46 per share for a total of $7,226. The filing identifies the purchase as under code P (purchase) and the footnote clarifies the shares were bought pursuant to the company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). This was a purchase (a bullish signal in that insiders are acquiring stock), and the dollar amount is modest.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-06-30 — 308 shares at $23.46 each (total $7,226).
• Filing date / report period: Form filed 2026-07-30 for period ending 2026-06-30.
• Shares owned after transaction: The Form 4 does not list total holdings explicitly; a footnote states a total of 31,375.3937 common shares were accumulated through the Company’s 401(k) plan as of July 28, 2026 (internal records).
• Footnotes: F1 — purchase pursuant to the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan; F2 — routine accumulation totaling 31,375.3937 shares via 401(k) as of 7/28/2026.
• Timeliness: The trade date was 6/30/2026 and the Form 4 was filed 7/30/2026, which is later than the typical 2-business-day reporting requirement for insiders (this appears to be a late filing).

Context

• ESPP and 401(k) purchases are routine ways employees accumulate stock and generally reflect participation in company benefit plans rather than a one-off market bet. The transaction size here is small relative to executive holdings, so it’s informational but not likely market-moving. There were no option exercises, gifts, or sales reported in this filing.
