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.
