Significance 4/10

CEO Lynn M Bamford sold 2,500 CW shares at $758.20 (2026-06-12), 1.3% below 52-week high; 10b5-1 plan execution.

Lynn M Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss Wright, executed a sale of 2,500 shares for $1,895,500.00 on 2026-06-12 as part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2026-03-10. The sale occurred at $758.20, near the company's 52-week peak of $772.98 (1.3% below high), while the stock has gained 7.0% over the past 30 days and 12.2% over 90 days. Bamford's same-ticker selling history at CW shows mixed near-term results—three of five prior sales declined within 30 days (-2.1%, -1.5%, -0.6%), though all five trades yielded positive 90-day returns ranging from 8.4% to 44.4%. The underlying company posts strong fundamentals with $913.7M quarterly revenue, $128.2M net income, and 12.1% annual revenue growth, though valuation at a P/E of 55.14 reflects premium pricing. Since this sale is part of a scheduled 10b5-1 plan, it reflects administrative execution rather than discretionary timing decisions.

Significance 4/10

CEO Lynn M Bamford sold 2,500 shares of CW at $721.72; pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan execution, stock up 5.7% over 90 days.

Lynn M Bamford, Chair and CEO, sold 2,500 shares for $1,804,300.00 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2026-03-10, meaning the sale was scheduled and non-discretionary rather than a signal of confidence or concern. Bamford retains 48,134 shares post-transaction. Examining his same-ticker history at CW, his five prior sales have consistently been followed by positive 90-day returns: +8.4%, +16.4%, +22.2%, +13.2%, and +44.4%, suggesting his past sales at this company have preceded subsequent appreciation. The company shows solid fundamentals with $913,687,000.00 in latest quarterly revenue, $128,186,000.00 in net income, and 12.1% annual revenue growth; however, the P/E of 51.99 is elevated. The stock is trading 5.5% below its 52-week high of $760.72 and has gained 5.7% over the past 90 days, placing this transaction in a context of recent strength rather than distress.

Significance 5/10

CEO Lynn M Bamford sold 3,225 shares of CW at $676.70, reducing holdings 6.0% to 50,634 shares ($2.2M transaction).

Lynn M Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss Wright, sold 3,225 shares on 2026-03-17 at $676.70, reducing his position by 6.0% while retaining 50.6K shares post-transaction. The stock has traded at $690.94 currently, -4.9% from its 52-week high of $726.48, and has gained 27.4% over the past 90 days. His prior trades at CW show a pattern of sells that have not been well-timed at the 90-day mark: 0 of 4 prior sales at this ticker resulted in the stock declining afterward, instead rising an average 21.4% by day 90, suggesting the insider has consistently sold before subsequent gains. The company's fundamentals show strong growth with annual revenue up 12.1%, though the P/E of 46.81 reflects a premium valuation. This sale represents a continuation of his systematic selling pattern at this ticker and should be monitored against forward price action to confirm whether this transaction precedes a reversal of the recent 90-day uptrend.

$5,842,899
Significance 5/10

CEO Bamford sells 9,327 shares of CW for $5.8M at $626.45; retains 46.2K shares post-sale

Bamford Lynn M, Chair and CEO, executed an open-market sale of 9,327 shares on 2026-02-04 for $5,842,899.15, reducing his holdings from 55,519 to 46,192 shares. The sale price of $626.45 was at the upper end of the company's 52-week range ($283.18–$674.79), only 8.3% below the 52-week high. At the same-ticker level, Bamford's prior 3 measurable sales at CW produced a 0% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark—none preceded subsequent declines—whereas his cross-ticker sell history shows a 25.00% well-timed rate overall. The company's fundamentals remain solid (P/E 49.06, +9.7% annual revenue growth, $124.8M net income on $869.2M quarterly revenue), and the stock is up 4.3% over the past 30 days and 6.9% over 90 days. Without a 10b5-1 plan or scheduled disposition flag disclosed, and given the executive retained substantial post-sale holdings, the transaction does not by itself signal distress; however, the pattern of recent sales at this ticker (three within three months) and the absence of well-timed prior exits at this company warrant investor attention to management's forward guidance.

Significance 4/10

CEO Bamford Lynn M sold 3,750 shares of CW at $549.07 for $2.1M, reducing holdings to 35.4K shares.

Bamford Lynn M, Chair and CEO, executed an open-market sale of 3,750 shares at $549.07, reducing his stake by 9.6% from 39.2K to 35.4K shares. His prior trades at Curtiss-Wright show a 25% well-timed rate on 4 measurable sells—notably, only 1 of 4 prior sells preceded a 90-day decline, suggesting limited predictive power in past sell timing at this ticker. The current stock price of $543.73 is 1.2% below the transaction price and trades 9.6% below its 52-week high, while the company maintains solid fundamentals with $869.2M quarterly revenue, $124.8M net income, and 9.7% annual growth. This transaction falls within routine portfolio activity and does not raise material concerns on its own.

Significance 5/10

Chair and CEO Bamford Lynn M sold 3,750 shares of CW at $577.79 on 2025-11-11 for $2.2M; retains 39.2K shares.

Bamford Lynn M, Chair and CEO of Curtiss Wright, executed an open-market sale of 3,750 shares (representing a -8.7% reduction of his prior holdings) at $577.79 per share, which was 9.2% below the 52-week high of $601.78 and 5.8% above the current price of $546.16. Across his cross-ticker track record, his 6 prior open-market sells had a 25.00% well-timed rate and an average 90-day return of +11.2%, indicating most of his prior sales were followed by continued stock appreciation. At Curtiss Wright specifically, his timing record is mixed: of 5 prior trades at this ticker, 2 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, including a sell on 2025-03-18 that posted -2.1% 30-day return followed by +44.4% 90-day return, and a sell on 2025-02-05 that returned -9.3% over 30 days and +4.7% over 90 days. The company reports recent quarter revenue of $869.2M, net income of $124.8M, and FY annual growth of +9.7%; the stock currently trades at a P/E of 43.31. This sale does not represent a material departure from his historical behavior at this ticker and follows a 30-day decline of -1.5% and a 90-day advance of +12.1%.

Significance 5/10

CEO Bamford sold 3,131 shares of CW at $325.41 on 2025-03-18, reducing holdings to 42,887 shares (-6.8%).

Bamford Lynn M, Chair and CEO, sold 3,131 shares at $325.41 for a total of $1,018,858.71. The sale reduces his holdings from 46,018 shares to 42,887 shares, representing a -6.8% reduction in his position at a price 0.3% above the current market level of $324.21 and 16.8% below the 52-week high of $389.49. His prior trades at CW show a mixed record: of 3 measurable same-ticker outcomes (the most recent 90-day windows), 2 were well-timed (the 2024-12-11 sell with -15.7% 90d return, and the 2024-07-03 buy with +44.8% 90d return), but his most recent same-ticker sell on 2025-02-05 resulted in -9.3% 30d return. Cross-ticker, his 5 prior sells averaged -7.2% 30d return and -2.2% 90d return, with a 50.00% well-timed rate. The current sale occurs while the stock is within its 52-week range and comes 30 days after a prior same-ticker sale, warranting observation of post-transaction price action to assess alignment with his historical accuracy at this ticker.

Significance 5/10

CEO Bamford Lynn M sold 8,289 shares of CW at $346.87 (2.9M total), reducing stake to 38,905 shares post-transaction

Bamford Lynn M, Chair and CEO, sold 8,289 shares of Curtiss Wright on 2025-02-05 at $346.87, totaling $2,875,205.43 and reducing his holdings by 17.6% to 38,905 shares. At his cross-ticker track record, prior sells averaged -5.0% returns over 30 days and +11.2% over 90 days, with a 0.00% well-timed rate—meaning his past open-market sales have generally occurred before price gains. At CW specifically, his prior two measurable sells (2024-12-11 at -5.0% 30d and 2024-03-19 at +11.2% 90d) show mixed timing. The current stock price of $350.93 is 9.9% below the 52-week high and down 7.0% over 90 days, suggesting modest downward momentum in recent quarters. With CW's P/E at 32.71 and annual revenue growth at 11.3%, the company exhibits solid operational fundamentals, but the elevated valuation and recent price weakness create a mixed signal regarding the sale's timing and strategic context.

Significance 6/10

CEO Bamford buys 34 CW shares at $304.12; 6 other insiders bought within 14 days, signaling coordinated confidence.

Chair and CEO Lynn M Bamford purchased 34 shares of Curtiss Wright at $304.12 on 2025-01-06, adding modestly to holdings of 28,448 shares. The transaction occurs within a broader cluster pattern: 6 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated open-market activity rather than isolated sentiment. While the purchase size is modest (+0.1% vs pre-transaction holdings), Bamford's cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +44.8% and a 100% win rate, indicating a pattern of well-timed accumulation decisions historically. At the same-ticker level, his prior buy on 2024-07-03 delivered +44.8% in 90 days, though his more recent sells (spanning February to December 2024) show mixed timing. The current price of $351.23 is -9.8% from the 52-week high, representing a tactical window that multiple executives appear to have recognized.

Significance 5/10

CEO Bamford Lynn M sold 7,129 shares of CW at $368.80 on 2024-12-11; retains 28,688 shares. Price now $366.92.

Bamford Lynn M, Chair and CEO, sold 7,129 shares at $368.80, reducing holdings by 19.9% from 35,817 to 28,688 shares, and generating $2,629,175.20 in proceeds. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $389.49, though current price at $366.92 is 5.8% below that peak and 4.8% lower over the past 30 days. Examining timing context: across his cross-ticker open-market history, his 3 prior sells averaged +11.2% 90d returns (poorly-timed on aggregate, as the stock rose after), though his same-ticker sell on 2024-03-19 did achieve a positive 90d outcome. The fundamental backdrop shows strong performance (11.3% annual revenue growth, P/E 34.20, $111.2M quarterly net income), and the stock has gained 18.4% over 90 days despite the recent pullback. Without a FLAG indicating a scheduled plan, the trade occurs in the context of the stock trading near its year-high, but the insider's prior sale timing at this ticker offers mixed signals rather than clear directional conviction.
