Cromwell (EVP/COO) sold 5,000 WWD shares at $297.88; fifth consecutive sale in 17 days amid stock near 52-week high

Cromwell reduced his Woodward stake by 5,000 shares (-24.8% of pre-transaction holdings from 20,135 to 15,135 shares) at $297.88, a price 3.0% below the 52-week high of $303.45. This sale is the fifth consecutive sell at WWD in 17 days (Dec 1, 3, 8, 10, 15), occurring as the stock trades near multiyear peaks (+13.0% over 30 days, +24.0% over 90 days). His cross-ticker history shows a 6.67% well-timed rate across 20 prior sells (avg 90d return +10.6%), but none of his five prior WWD trades yet have measurable 90-day outcomes. With the company posting solid fundamentals (revenue $915.4M, net income $108.4M, 7.3% annual growth) and a P/E of 38.59, the pattern of sequential liquidation at elevated valuations is noteworthy but currently unmeasured against subsequent price action.

WWD EVP/COO sells 10,000 shares ($2.95M) in 2 transactions; 39.8% of holdings liquidated at highs near $303.61.

Cromwell Thomas G executed 2 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $2,953,800.00 on 2025-12-08 and 2025-12-10, reducing holdings from 25,135 shares to 15,135 shares (a -39.8% reduction). The transactions occurred near the 52-week high of $303.45, with the first tranche sold at $303.61 and the second at $287.15, for a blended average of $295.38. At the current price of $290.19, the insider's recent exit points remain above market. The same-ticker history shows his 2 most recent prior sells at this ticker (2025-03-24 and 2025-03-26) posted positive 90-day returns (+27.6% and +24.9%), indicating those sales were poorly timed relative to subsequent price appreciation. The cross-ticker track record reports a 90-day well-timed rate of 5.88% across 20 prior sells, well below the 50% threshold expected from random timing, further suggesting his sales tend to precede rallies rather than declines.

Cromwell (EVP/COO) sold 5.0K shares at $298.49, reducing holdings 24.8%; stock at 52-week high.

On 2025-12-03, Cromwell Thomas G, EVP and COO of Woodward Inc., sold 5,000 shares at $298.49 per share, reducing his holdings from 20,135 to 15,135 shares (a 24.8% reduction). The sale occurred at the 52-week high of $303.45, with the stock having risen 15.7% over the prior 30 days and 25.0% over the prior 90 days. His same-ticker history shows 5 prior trades at WWD, with 3 prior measurable sales all generating positive 90-day returns (24.9%, 27.6%, and 28.2%), indicating a pattern where this executive sold before subsequent gains—inversely timed from a sell perspective. The current sale near the 52-week peak, occurring after sustained momentum, differs materially from his prior WWD outcomes and warrants monitoring of whether this represents a shift in his transaction pattern at this ticker.

COO Cromwell sells 10.0K shares ($2.98M) across 2 transactions at $296.26–$299.39; holds 15.1K post-trade.

Cromwell Thomas G, EVP and COO, executed 2 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $2,978,250.00 on 2025-11-28 and 2025-12-01, reducing his holdings by 39.8% from 25,135 to 15,135 shares. The sales occurred at a blended average price of $297.82, near the current price of $298.04 and just 0.7% below the 52-week high of $300.25, when the stock had appreciated 13.7% over the prior 30 days and 21.9% over 90 days. At this ticker, his 5 prior sales all resulted in positive 90-day returns (ranging +1.1% to +28.2%), meaning the stock rose after each prior sale—a pattern indicating poor sell-timing execution at WWD, with 0 of 5 prior trades well-timed by the 90-day metric. The company trades at a P/E of 39.06 with $915.4M quarterly revenue and $108.4M net income, metrics investors should monitor against this material reduction in insider holdings at historically elevated valuations.

EVP/COO Thomas Cromwell sells 13,300 shares at blended avg $188.44 for $2.5M; reduces stake 46.2%

Cromwell Thomas G (EVP and COO) executed two separate sales on 2025-03-24 and 2025-03-26, selling a combined 13,300 shares for $2,506,288.00 at a blended average price of $188.44. This reduces his holdings from 28,777 shares to 15,477 shares, a -46.2% reduction. The stock currently trades at $188.19, within 3.6% of its 52-week high of $195.22, and has appreciated 2.8% over the past 30 days and 9.6% over the past 90 days. At the cross-ticker level, his prior sales have demonstrated a 16.67% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of +6.2%, though at this specific ticker (WWD), only 1 of 3 prior measurable sells showed negative 90-day returns. The company reports strong fundamentals: latest-quarter revenue of $772,725,000.00, net income of $87,091,000.00, annual revenue growth of +14.1%, and a P/E of 30.21. The magnitude of the stake reduction and the timing relative to price strength warrant attention, though the sales occur within context of the stock trading near 52-week highs and the executive retains 15,477 shares post-transaction.

EVP/COO Thomas G Cromwell sells 20,000 shares (56.4% of holdings) at $184.50 over two days

Thomas G Cromwell, EVP and COO, executed 2 separate sales totaling 20,000 shares for $3,690,000.00 on 2025-03-18 and 2025-03-19 at $184.50 per share, reducing his holdings from 35,477 shares to 15,477 shares. This represents a substantial reduction of more than half his position. His cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +6.2% after his prior sells, with a well-timed rate of 16.67%, indicating most of his past sales have occurred as stocks subsequently rose. At the same WWD ticker, his 5 prior sales show mixed timing: only 1 of 5 was well-timed at the 90-day horizon, and 4 of 5 showed negative 30-day returns post-sale. The current stock price of $186.59 is 4.4% below the 52-week high and has declined 2.0% in the last 30 days, yet the company shows solid fundamentals with annual revenue growth of +14.1% and a P/E of 29.95.

Cromwell (EVP/COO) sold 10,000 shares at blended $181.85 for $1.8M on 2024-12-05, reducing holdings by 46.5%

Cromwell Thomas G filed 3 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $1,818,545.23 at prices ranging from $180.85 to $183.48 on 2024-12-05, reducing his position from 21,511 to 11,511 shares. This large single-day liquidation of nearly half his holdings stands out against his recent trading pattern: he has executed 5 sells at WWD within the past two weeks (2024-11-22 through 2024-12-05), suggesting a systematic reduction program. His cross-ticker track record shows a 50.00% well-timed rate on prior sells with an average 90-day return of +8.4%, indicating past timing discipline, yet his prior trades at WWD have not yet produced measurable 90-day outcomes. The transaction occurred at prices near the 52-week high of $187.29 and 4.0% above the current price of $179.73, placing the execution in the upper range of recent trading activity.

EVP and COO Cromwell sells 20,000 shares at blended average $179.77; recent pattern shows 5 consecutive sells in 18 days.

Cromwell Thomas G, EVP and COO at Woodward, executed 3 separate sales totaling 20,000 shares for $3,595,310.82 between 2024-11-29 and 2024-12-02, at a blended average price of $179.77, reducing his holdings by 63.5% to 11,511 shares. This large reduction coincides with an aggressive selling pattern: the SAME-TICKER HISTORY shows 5 consecutive sells at WWD over an 18-day window (2024-11-11 through 2024-11-25), with 3 additional sales in this Form 4 filing occurring on 2024-11-29 and 2024-12-02. The stock has advanced 12.3% over the past 30 days and trades within 3.3% of its 52-week high ($187.29), yet the insider has sustained heavy selling activity across this rallying period. While the company exhibits healthy fundamentals (14.1% annual revenue growth, $847.7M quarterly revenue, $102.1M net income, P/E 20.90), the sustained and concentrated nature of these sales—particularly the volume reduction and timing clustering—warrants monitoring to understand whether these dispositions reflect portfolio management or signaling dynamics.

EVP/COO Cromwell sold 17,928 shares in 2 tranches (7,928 at $174.50, 10,000 at $179.50) for $3,178,436; cuts holdings 60.9% to 11,511 shares.

Cromwell Thomas G, EVP and COO, executed two separate sales totaling 17,928 shares for $3,178,436, reducing his stake by 60.9% from 29,439 to 11,511 shares. The two transactions occurred within 3 days (November 22 and November 25, 2024), with the stock trading at a blended average price of $177.29 against a current price of $187.29, meaning the executive sold below the subsequent peak. His cross-ticker track record shows a 50.00% well-timed rate on prior sells with average 90-day returns of +8.4%, indicating he has historically captured roughly half of sell opportunities favorably; however, this same-ticker history at WWD is not yet measurable (the 5 prior WWD sales occurred between November 11–14, within the most recent trading window). The magnitude of the position reduction—dumping nearly two-thirds of holdings—combined with the timing just before the stock reached its 52-week high, and the backdrop of strong fundamentals (P/E 21.60, +14.1% annual revenue growth, $847.7M latest quarterly revenue, $102.1M net income), suggests an opportunistic liquidation rather than a distress signal, though the concentration and speed warrant investor monitoring of near-term business developments.

EVP and COO Cromwell sells 7,913 shares for $1,385,765.68 in 2 separate transactions at $174.96 and $175.72, reducing stake 40.7%

Cromwell Thomas G, EVP and COO, executed 2 separate sales on 2024-11-14 totaling 7,913 shares for $1,385,765.68 at blended average price $175.13, reducing his holdings from 19,424 to 11,511 shares (a 40.7% reduction). The transactions occurred near the 52-week high of $187.23, with the current price at $169.54 representing a 9.4% decline from that peak. His cross-ticker track record shows 8 prior sells with 50.00% well-timed rate at 90-day mark and average 90-day return of 8.4%, but at this same ticker (WWD), only 1 prior measurable 90-day outcome is available—a May 2024 sale that declined 12.2%, representing well-timed positioning. The substantial 40.7% reduction in stake combined with recent aggressive selling activity (3 sales in 3 days: 2024-11-11 and 2024-11-14) warrants attention to whether this reflects material shifts in management's long-term confidence or liquidity needs.
