Significance 5/10

CW CFO Farkas sells 1,265 shares at $689.69; holds 4,253 shares post-sale as stock near 52-week high

Farkas K Christopher, Executive VP and CFO, sold 1,265 shares on 2026-03-18 at $689.69, reducing his holdings by 22.9% and generating $872,457.85 in proceeds. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $726.48 (current price $691.62 is 4.8% below that peak). His same-ticker history at CW shows a pattern of regular selling activity: five prior trades at this ticker, with only 0 of 2 measurable prior 90-day outcomes classified as well-timed (the most recent measurable sale on 2025-11-11 declined 1.5% in 30 days but rose 13.1% over 90 days, indicating poorly timed execution). Cross-ticker, his 7 prior sells averaged a 0.00% well-timed rate over 90 days. The company trades at a P/E of 46.86 with strong fundamentals: $869.2M in latest quarterly revenue, $124.8M net income, and 12.1% annual revenue growth, suggesting valuation may be elevated relative to near-term earnings power. The concentrated selling pattern at a historically high price point merits monitoring, though lack of measurable recent comparative outcomes limits definitive conclusions about timing intent.

Significance 4/10

CFO Farkas sells 918 CW shares at $677.46 (total $621.9K); stock up 27.4% in 90 days, P/E 46.81.

Farkas K Christopher, Executive VP and CFO, sold 918 shares of Curtiss Wright at $677.46, reducing his holdings from 6,436 to 5,518 shares. The sale occurred as the stock has appreciated significantly in the near term (up 27.4% over 90 days, with a current price of $690.94 just 4.9% below the 52-week high), positioning the transaction near a peak in recent momentum. At his prior five trades at this ticker, Farkas achieved a 0% well-timed rate on sells at the 90-day measurement mark, indicating his historical sales at CW have consistently been followed by further stock appreciation rather than declines. The company shows solid fundamentals with annual revenue growth of +12.1% and net income of $124.8M, though valuation metrics appear elevated at a P/E of 46.81. This sale pattern—disposing of shares during a strong uptrend without a track record of well-timed exits at this ticker—presents a data point for investor review.

Significance 5/10

His prior trades at Curtiss Wright show mixed timing outcomes: of 4 measurable prior trades at this ticker, none were well-timed at the 90-day mark. Cross-ticker, his 5 prior sales averaged 18.1% gains over 90 days, suggesting sells have historically been followed by stock appreciation rather than declines. The 42.2% reduction in position size represents a material reshaping of his stake in the company.

2,665 shares
$1,669,169
Significance 5/10

CFO Farkas K Christopher sold 2,665 shares of CW at $626.33 for $1,669,169.45; reduced holdings by 26.6% (from 10,023 to 7,358 shares)

Farkas K Christopher, Executive VP and CFO, executed a material reduction of his CW position, divesting 2,665 shares (26.6% of his pre-transaction holdings) at $626.33. The stock currently trades at $618.60, down 8.3% from its 52-week high of $674.79, suggesting the sale occurred near recent price strength. His prior trading history at CW shows mixed timing: of 5 prior trades at this ticker, only 1 of 4 measurable outcomes was well-timed at the 90-day mark, and his recent sell on 2025-11-11 saw prices decline 1.5% within 30 days. Cross-ticker, his sells have averaged a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his exit decisions historically have not preceded stock declines. Curtiss Wright's fundamentals remain solid (P/E 49.06, +9.7% annual revenue growth, $124.8M net income), but the CFO's substantial single-transaction divestment warrants attention for its magnitude and pattern relative to his prior trading record.

Significance 5/10

CFO Farkas sold 5,047 shares of CW at $577.91 for $2.9M, reducing holdings by -54.4% to 4,236 shares

Farkas K Christopher, Vice President and CFO, executed a substantial sale of 5,047 shares at $577.91 on 2025-11-11, reducing his holdings by -54.4% from 9,283 to 4,236 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $601.78 (within -9.2% of peak), coinciding with positive recent momentum—the stock returned +12.1% over 90 days and +18.6% following his prior buy on 2025-01-06. Across his same-ticker history at CW, the timing pattern has been mixed: only 1 of 5 prior trades were well-timed at the 90-day mark, including his most recent 2025-05-01 sell that saw +25.8% 30-day and +41.8% 90-day returns (poorly timed). The company shows solid fundamentals with $869.2M quarterly revenue, +9.7% annual growth, and a P/E of 43.31, but this CFO-level reduction in personal stake warrants attention as a data point in ongoing position management.

Significance 5/10

CFO Christopher Farkas sold 4,780 CW shares at $350.00 on 2025-05-01 ($1.7M), reducing holdings 34.1%; stock up 8.6% in 30 days.

Farkas K Christopher, VP and CFO, executed a substantial sale of 4,780 shares worth $1,673,000.00, reducing his CW holdings from 14,033 to 9,253 shares. The $1.7M transaction represents a material reduction of 34.1% in his position. Context: the stock has gained 8.6% in the 30 days following the May 1 sale and currently trades at $350.28, just 10.1% below its 52-week high of $389.49. His cross-ticker track record shows prior sells averaged +12.8% return at the 90-day mark with a 0% well-timed rate—suggesting his past sales have coincided with subsequent stock appreciation rather than declines. At the same ticker, his prior sale on 2025-02-05 experienced a 30-day decline of -9.3%, though longer-term outcome is unmeasurable. The company trades at a P/E of 28.83 with solid fundamentals: $798.9M quarterly revenue, $111.2M net income, and 9.7% annual revenue growth. The timing and magnitude of this sale warrant observation given the pattern of prior sells failing to precede price declines and the stock's recent momentum.

Significance 4/10

Across his prior five trades at CW, Farkas's sole prior sale (2024-03-14) generated a 90-day return of +12.8%, meaning the stock rose after he sold, indicating that earlier sale was not well-timed. His cross-ticker track record across all open-market activity shows four prior buys with strong returns (90d: +44.8% average, 100% win rate), but only one prior sell with a 90d well-timed rate of 0.00%, suggesting his sells have not reliably preceded price declines. The stock trades at a P/E of 32.71 with revenue growth of +11.3% year-over-year, characteristics that do not inherently signal distress.

Farkas K Christopher, Vice President and CFO of Curtiss Wright, purchased 51 shares at $232.62 on 2024-07-03, increasing his holdings from 9,172 to 9,223 shares. This transaction coincides with a broader cluster buy pattern: 4 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or independently motivated accumulation at this price level. Farkas's cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +30.3% and a 100% win rate, though his same-ticker history at CW is more mixed—2 of 3 prior trades were well-timed at the 90-day mark, including a prior buy on 2024-01-04 that returned +35.9% over 90 days. The current stock price of $271.24 sits 4.9% below its 52-week high of $285.21 and up 4.7% over the past 90 days, positioning this buy within a moderately elevated valuation context (P/E 27.76). The cluster dynamic and Farkas's demonstrated success timing CW buys warrant attention as confirmatory signals of insider perspective on near-term value.
