@ $106.85
Significance 4/10

CCK CEO Donahue sells 7,500 shares at $106.85; stock now at $104.89, -1.6% of holdings remaining

Timothy J Donahue, President & CEO of Crown Holdings, sold 7,500 shares at $106.85 on 2026-04-15, reducing his holdings from 458,570 to 451,070 shares. The transaction occurred near recent highs; the stock currently trades at $104.89, approximately 9.7% below its 52-week high of $116.11. Examining timing patterns at Crown Holdings specifically, two prior measurable sales showed mixed outcomes: a sale on 2026-01-05 saw a -2.1% decline over 90 days, while a sale on 2025-12-18 saw a -3.4% decline over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record across 16 prior sells shows an average 90-day return of -3.4% with a 69.23% well-timed rate, indicating a historical tendency to sell ahead of downturns. The company trades at a P/E of 9.42 with annual revenue growth of +4.8% and $214.0M in net income on $3.2B revenue, suggesting a mature business trading at a discount multiple.

Significance 5/10

CCK CEO Donahue sells 7,500 shares at $105.00 on 2026-04-08; holds 458,570 post-transaction

Timothy J Donahue, President & CEO of Crown Holdings, sold 7,500 shares at $105.00, reducing his holdings by 1.6% to 458,570 shares. At the current price of $107.84, this sale occurred 2.7% below current levels. His prior trades at CCK show mixed outcomes: of three prior sales with measurable 90-day results, all were well-timed (the stock fell after each), though the two most recent February and January sales lack sufficient time-horizon data. His cross-ticker track record shows a 69.23% well-timed rate on 15 prior sells, with an average 90-day return of -3.4%, suggesting a pattern of selling into weakness. CCK trades at a P/E of 9.69 with recent 4.8% annual revenue growth, and Donahue maintains substantial holdings of 458,570 shares, indicating continued alignment with shareholders.

NOVAES DJALMA JR Sell
EVP & COO
29,734 shares
$3,413,463
@ $114.80
Significance 5/10

Crown Holdings COO Novaes sold 29,734 shares at $114.80, reducing stake by 25.2%; stock now at $115.85, near 52-week high.

Djalma Novaes Jr., EVP & COO of Crown Holdings, executed a substantial sale of 29,734 shares at $114.80 on February 23, 2026, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 88,052 shares, a 25.2% reduction from his prior 117,786-share position. The sale was priced below the current $115.85 market level and coincides with the stock trading at its 52-week high of $115.85, having appreciated 11.5% over the prior 30 days and 19.5% over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows only 1 prior open-market sale with an average 30-day return of +3.7%, while his single prior CCK transaction (a December 2025 sale) yielded a 30-day return of +3.7%. The company's recent financials show $3.2B quarterly revenue, $214.0M net income, and a P/E of 14.13, with annual revenue contracting 1.7% year-over-year. The timing of this large stake reduction during a period of elevated stock momentum and modest revenue headwinds merits investor attention to understand the executive's rationale.

Gifford Gerard H Sell
EVP & CAO
13,373 shares
$1,524,188
@ $113.98
Significance 4/10

EVP Gifford sells 13,373 shares of CCK at $113.98 (-11.2% of holdings); stock now at $114.80, near 52-week high.

Gifford Gerard H, EVP & CAO, sold 13,373 shares at $113.98 on 2026-02-20 for $1,524,187.68, reducing his holdings by 11.2% to 106,310 shares. The sale occurred near Crown Holdings' 52-week high ($115.24), with the stock currently trading at $114.80 and up 11.7% over the past 30 days and 18.0% over 90 days. His same-ticker history shows mixed timing: 2 of 4 prior CCK sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, while his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90d return of +0.4% after sells, with a 50% well-timed rate. The sale's position near the stock's recent peak in the context of strong recent price appreciation deserves monitoring, though the company's modest fundamentals (P/E of 14.00, -1.7% annual revenue growth) suggest the transaction reflects current market valuation rather than a distress signal.

@ $110.67
Significance 4/10

CCK CEO Timothy Donahue sold 7,500 shares at $110.67 on 2026-02-18; stock near 52-week high, cross-ticker track record shows 63.64% well-timed rate on sells.

Timothy Donahue, President & CEO of Crown Holdings, sold 7,500 shares for $830,025.00, reducing his holdings by 1.6% to 474.7K shares. The sale occurred at $110.67 while the stock currently trades at $113.70, only 1.3% below its 52-week high of $115.24, and the stock is up 11.9% over the past 30 days and 16.9% over the past 90 days. Donahue's cross-ticker track record shows a 63.64% well-timed rate on his 14 prior open-market sells, with an average 90-day return of -3.5%, though his same-ticker history at CCK shows mixed results with only 2 measurable 90-day outcomes (both negative, both well-timed). The sale occurs as Crown Holdings carries a 13.87 P/E and faces modest headwinds with annual revenue declining 1.7% year-over-year, generating $3.2B in revenue and $214.0M in net income in the latest quarter.

@ $105.00
Significance 6/10

CEO Donahue sells 7,500 shares of CCK at $105.00 for $787.5K; maintains 482.2K post-transaction

TIMOTHY J DONAHUE, President & CEO of Crown Holdings, sold 7,500 shares on 2026-01-29 at $105.00, reducing his position by 1.5%. His prior trades at CCK show a strong pattern of well-timed execution: 3 of 3 prior measurable sales (2025-08-21, 2025-08-20, 2024-11-06) resulted in negative 90-day returns of -5.8%, -5.3%, and -11.7% respectively, indicating the insider sold before subsequent declines. This latest sale at $105.00 occurs when the stock trades at $104.68 (near recent highs within 3.2% of the 52-week high of $108.12), mirroring the timing pattern: preceding declines by selling into strength. The CEO retains substantial equity at 482.2K shares, and the company's fundamentals show stable profitability ($214.0M net income on $3.2B revenue) with a low valuation multiple (P/E: 12.77), suggesting the sale reflects tactical positioning rather than crisis-driven exit.

@ $105.00
Significance 6/10

CEO Timothy Donahue sold 29,024 shares of CCK at $105.00 on 2026-01-05 ($3.0M); prior trades at CCK show 4 of 4 well-timed 90d outcomes.

Timothy Donahue, President & CEO of Crown Holdings, sold 29,024 shares at $105.00 on 2026-01-05 for $3,047,520.00, reducing his holdings by 5.6% to 489,736 shares. This sale occurs within Crown's relatively modest valuation environment (P/E of 12.28, annual revenue growth of -1.7%) and against a recent positive price trajectory (+4.7% over 30 days, +10.2% over 90 days), with the stock trading 6.9% below its 52-week high of $108.12. Notably, his prior four measurable sales at CCK—on 2024-10-07, 2024-11-06, 2025-08-20, and 2025-08-21—all produced negative 90-day returns, establishing a 4 of 4 well-timed pattern at this specific ticker. His cross-ticker track record shows 12 prior sells with a 63.64% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, suggesting a consistent ability to precede downturns. This latest sale merits observation as it aligns with a demonstrated pattern of exiting before subsequent price declines.

@ $105.01
Significance 5/10

CEO Timothy Donahue sells 8,476 shares of CCK at $105.01; held 5-of-5 prior CCK sales with negative 90-day returns.

President & CEO Timothy Donahue sold 8,476 shares (8.5K shares) of Crown Holdings at $105.01 on 2025-12-18, reducing holdings from 449,056 to 440,580 shares. The stock currently trades at $101.99, down 5.7% from its 52-week high of $108.12, yet up 7.6% over the past 30 days and 7.7% over 90 days. More notable is Donahue's historical execution: his prior 5 trades at CCK were all sales, and all 5 exhibited negative 90-day returns, indicating a consistent pattern of selling before subsequent declines (timing pattern: 5 of 5 well-timed at the 90-day mark). Against this track record, the current sale occurs as the stock sits near highs, within 3% of its 52-week peak, making any forward assessment contingent on whether this pattern continues to hold predictive value.

Significance 5/10

EVP & COO Novaes sells 19,754 CCK shares for $2.0M at $101.02; retains 96,841 shares (-16.9% reduction).

NOVAES DJALMA JR, as EVP & COO, sold 19,754 shares of Crown Holdings for a total value of $1,995,549.08 at $101.02 per share on 2025-12-16, reducing his holdings from 116,595 shares to 96,841 shares. The sale represents a 16.9% reduction in his pre-transaction holdings. Crown's current price of $104.30 is -3.5% from its 52-week high of $108.12 and the stock has posted a +9.8% gain over the past 30 days and +9.5% over 90 days, recently performing well. The company's fundamentals show a P/E of 12.72 and a market cap of $12,030,785,344.20, though annual revenue growth is -1.7% and net income is $214,000,000.00 on revenue of $3,202,000,000.00. The transaction appears discretionary; absent disclosure of a 10b5-1 plan or other scheduled arrangement, the specific timing and scale of this disposition relative to recent stock momentum should be monitored.

Significance 5/10

CCK CEO Timothy Donahue sold 50,000 shares for $5,027,480 (avg $100.55) in two separate transactions on 2025-08-20/21.

Timothy Donahue, President & CEO of Crown Holdings, executed two separate sales totaling 50,000 shares for $5,027,480 on August 20–21, 2025, at an average price of $100.55. This represents a 10.0% reduction of his holdings from 499,056 shares to 449,056 shares. At the same-ticker level, Donahue's prior five sales at CCK showed mixed timing outcomes: the most recent sale on 2024-11-06 fell 8.6% over 30 days and 11.7% over 90 days (well-timed), while earlier sales in 2024 were followed by gains ranging from +1.1% to +6.4% at the 30-day mark. His cross-ticker track record shows 9 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -3.0% and a 55.56% well-timed rate. The current stock price of $100.86 sits 6.7% below the 52-week high of $108.12, with a 30-day decline of 4.2%, creating a near-flat backdrop for this filing. Investors should monitor whether this CEO-level sale signals a shift in conviction or reflects routine liquidity management.
