Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from A.O. Smith Corporation (AOS) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow AOS and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full AOS filings page.
A. O. Smith Corporation is asking stockholders to vote at its 2026 Annual Meeting on April 13, 2026 at The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte. Holders of Common Stock will elect four directors, while Class A Common Stock holders will elect six, reflecting the company’s dual-class structure.
The Smith Family Voting Trust controls about 97% of Class A voting power and elects a majority of the Board. Proposals include electing ten directors, an advisory vote on executive compensation, and ratifying Ernst & Young as auditor. The proxy also highlights recent board refreshment, stockholder outreach after low director support, and governance changes such as annually electing an independent Presiding Director.
