About SF Stifel Financial Corporation

Stifel Financial is a diversified financial-services provider that generates revenue from wealth management, investment banking, and lending. The firm was founded in 1890 as a St. Louis-based full-service brokerage but has been transformed under CEO Ronald Kruszewski through a slew of acquisitions into a globally competitive wealth manager, investment bank, and retail and institutional brokerage. The firm generated $5.5 billion in revenue in 2025, with roughly two-thirds derived from wealth management and one-third derived from investment banking and trading.

About AOS A.O. Smith Corporation

A.O. Smith Corp manufactures a broad lineup of water heaters, boilers, and water treatment products. The company has two reporting segments: North America (75% of sales) and the rest of the world (25% of sales). A.O. Smith is the manufacturer of water heaters in North America for the residential and commercial markets, with approximately 37% and 54% market share, respectively. Residential water heaters account for the majority of North American sales and are distributed equally through wholesale and retail channels. The majority of A.O.
