Common questions

Is the Curtiss Wright Corp CEO selling stock?

Yes. Lynn Bamford sold 25K shares ($16.0M) in the past 12 months, 50% of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Curtiss Wright Corp insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 52% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings, 45% were to cover taxes and 2% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Curtiss Wright Corp insiders buying?

Yes. 1 officer or director reported 1 purchase in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P; rows the filings describe as reinvested dividends, plan purchases, private deals or moves into the person's own trust are not counted).

What explains the selling$30.1M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $30.1M across 47,276 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($14.4M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $701K

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $641K of it is John Watts. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: John Watts, Aug 27, 2026

Taxes

$14.0M of sales (46.4%) cite tax obligations in their footnotes, $273K of them also under a plan. Example: George McDonald, Mar 17, 2026

Purchases · 1 buyer (1 trade)

1 officer or director bought shares in this period, in 1 trade(Form 4 code P, leaving out rows the filings describe as reinvested dividends, plan purchases, private deals or moves into the person's own trust). Across all their filings on record there are 3 purchase trades.

Charitable gifts · 384 shares

Gifts the filings describe as charitable. Gifts are not sales and are not included in the sale totals.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Holdings and share of stake are being verified. Balances, unit counts and every share-of-stake figure for Curtiss Wright Corp are held back until that check is finished. Sales, proceeds, plan and tax status, titles and dates come straight from individual filings and are complete.

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology1,285 filings on record, 62 filed in the 12-month period, and how we read them

All 1,285 Forms 3, 4 and 5 on record for Curtiss Wright Corp (SEC CIK 26324), filed from Apr 7, 2000 to Aug 31, 2026; 62 of them were filed in the 12 months this page covers, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 16, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 1 filing was left out because Curtiss Wright Corp filed them as an owner of another company's stock. 2 older filings exist only on paper and could not be read.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before Dec 17, 2003 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 11 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before Apr 21, 2006 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 12 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
