Howmet Aerospace insiders sold $22.9M in the past 12 months. How much of their stake is that?

"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Is this normal? Less than usual: about a third of the 5-year average. 2 insiders sold; the average is 2 a year. Year by year

What stands out

Neil Marchuk sold 66% of vested holdings: 87K shares for $22.7M, none under a disclosed plan.Largest sale, Feb 18, 2026
Barbara Shultz sold 1K shares (4.3% of starting holdings), but 4.5K more vested, so the stake grew (from 23K to 24K).Largest sale, Feb 26, 2026

Percentages cover 13 of 16 officers and directors. Left out: Michael Chanatry (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Patrick Winterlich and Jonathan Arena (held no vested shares at the start). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is 100% of that person's own stake; not comparable between people. The stake is the vested shares held at the start of the period (Oct 9, 2025); the gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the Howmet Aerospace CEO selling stock?

No. John Plant reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are Howmet Aerospace insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 0% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 100% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Howmet Aerospace insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did Howmet Aerospace insiders sell?

About 2.2% overall. As a group they still hold 99% of their starting shares. The biggest individual seller, Neil Marchuk, gave up 66% of starting holdings. That covers the 12 months to Oct 9, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

15 of 16 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (13 exactly, 2 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 13 of 16 officers and directors. Left out: Michael Chanatry (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Patrick Winterlich and Jonathan Arena (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$22.9M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $22.9M across 88,082 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

No plan disclosed · $22.9M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $22.7M of it is Neil Marchuk. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Neil Marchuk, Feb 18, 2026

Taxes

56,918 shares ($14.0M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

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.

Known gaps and uncertainty1 insider whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Michael Chanatry: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of -12,803 shares). A footnote describes a transfer or distribution between related entities, but the amounts could not be matched to the balance change. Largest: -12,803 shares on Feb 17, 2026 (Company 401(k) Plan). Filing, Feb 17, 2026

Footnote: "Reporting person no longer has an indirect holding of Howmet common stock units in the Howmet Aerospace Salaried Retirement Savings Plan due to the plan's liquidation of such stock units and transferal into an alternative investment account under the plan."

John Plant: minor difference of -10 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Neil Marchuk: minor difference of 61 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Inferred rename: "Family Trust" is treated as the same holder as "Trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (5,333 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred typo: the share class "Common Stocke" is treated as the same class as "Common Stock" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Kay Meggers, 803 shares): old title, new title

Inferred typo: the share class "Commons Stock" is treated as the same class as "Common Stock" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Timothy Myers, 21,666 shares): old title, new title

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

Sources and methodology1,983 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,983 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Howmet Aerospace (SEC CIK 4281) from May 5, 2003 to Oct 6, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 5 filings were left out because Howmet Aerospace filed them as an owner of another company's stock.

Probable 1-for-3 stock split on or before Oct 5, 2016 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 7 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".
