CRS SVP Dee James D sells 15,800 shares in 3 transactions for $6.2M at $391.20–$392.98 near 52-wk high

Dee James D, SVP, General Counsel & Secretary of Carpenter Technology, executed 3 separate sales on 2026-02-24 totaling 15,800 shares for $6,190,095.49, reducing holdings by 17.6% to 73,739 shares. The sales occurred at prices ($391.20–$392.98) near the stock's 52-week high of $395.61, and the stock has posted strong recent momentum (+13.5% over 30 days, +24.0% over 90 days). At the same ticker, his prior 2 sales (2025-05-19 and 2024-05-21) both resulted in positive 90-day returns (+6.8% and +31.8%, respectively), indicating the stock rose after those sales—a pattern of poorly-timed exits. The current trade's concentration of shares at elevated valuations and proximity to the 52-week high stands out relative to the company's elevated P/E of 45.32, though without a FLAG note this transaction appears discretionary rather than automated.

SVP & General Counsel Dee James D sold 5,000 shares (5.0K) of CRS at $235.03 on 2025-05-19, reducing holdings to 85,028 shares.

Dee James D sold 5,000 shares at $235.03, just 2.3% below the 52-week high of $235.71, following a significant 30-day rally of +37.4%. The transaction reduced his holdings by -5.6% to 85,028 shares, a modest reduction in absolute terms. His cross-ticker track record shows only 1 prior sell with an average 90-day return of +31.8% after the sale, indicating historically poor timing (the stock rose after he sold). The same transaction at CRS in May 2024 exhibited identical timing: a sell followed by a +31.8% gain over 90 days, establishing a recurring pattern where his exits have preceded strong subsequent rallies. Against fundamentals of $727.0M in quarterly revenue, $95.4M net income, and a P/E of 32.03, the sale at peak valuations merits observation of whether this pattern persists.
