Curtiss Wright Corp: what insiders have been doing
Curtiss Wright Corp, founded in 1929, is a Defense & Aerospace company based in Charlotte, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). Between 18 October 2025 and 18 October 2026, 16 insiders published 55 filings.
Open-market activity splits into 1 purchase totalling €129k and 17 sales totalling €10.0M; 1 insider sit on the buying side and 5 insiders on the selling side. The totals do not cover 4 filings with an undisclosed amount. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. Biggest ticket of the year: €2.5M, sold by Farkas K Christopher and made public on 13 November 2025. The buyers include 1 senior executive.
The last purchase on record was published on 10 August 2026, which is 68 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
Across the 5,816 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 19 filings; at 55 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. The full history, which starts in 2016, counts 24 purchases against 42 sales. The 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025 shows 3.50 bn USD of revenue and 484.2 m USD of net income and a dividend of 0.93 USD per share.

About Curtiss Wright Corp
Curtiss-Wright Corp. (NYSE: CW) is a United States-listed industrial technology company focused on highly engineered products, solutions, and services for aerospace, defense, nuclear power, process industries, and other demanding applications. Its principal executive office is in Davidson, North Carolina, United States. The company’s heritage is deeply rooted in the early era of aviation and the Wright brothers, which supports its long-standing reputation as a specialist in mission-critical platforms and high-performance applications. ([cdn.curtisswright.com](https://cdn.curtisswright.com/admin/files/doc_financials/annual/2025/assets/files/CurtissWright10K_2025.pdf))
Curtiss-Wright operates through three reportable segments: Aerospace & Industrial, Defense Electronics, and Naval & Power. Aerospace & Industrial provides actuation, motion-control, surface-treatment, and other precision-engineered products for commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and industrial customers. Defense Electronics includes embedded computing modules, integrated subsystems, avionics, tactical communications, flight-test equipment, and aircraft data management solutions. Naval & Power serves naval defense and commercial power/process markets with products such as pumps, motors, generators, steam turbines, valves, propulsion systems, and instrumentation and control equipment.

From a competitive standpoint, Curtiss-Wright occupies an attractive niche. It is not a mass-market manufacturer; rather, it is a supplier of highly specialized technologies where qualification cycles are long, switching costs are meaningful, and customer relationships tend to be durable. That positioning gives the company exposure to structurally supported end markets, particularly U.S. defense spending, naval programs, commercial aerospace, and nuclear power infrastructure. Management highlights competitive positions across most of its key aerospace and commercial end markets, supported by engineering depth, precision manufacturing, R&D investment, and decades of technical expertise. ([cdn.curtisswright.com](https://cdn.curtisswright.com/admin/files/doc_financials/annual/2025/assets/files/CurtissWright10K_2025.pdf))
Recent developments have been constructive. In 2025, Curtiss-Wright reported improving results and raised full-year guidance multiple times. The company also announced an approximately $80 million U.S. Air Force IDIQ award in June 2025 for high-speed data acquisition technology and repair services, while also unveiling new edge-computing and tactical networking products in 2025-2026, including additions to the PacStar product line. In addition, the December 2024 acquisition of I&C Solutions (formerly Ultra Energy) strengthened the Naval & Power segment with reactor protection systems, neutron monitoring systems, radiation monitoring systems, and temperature and pressure sensors. For investors, CW remains a quality industrial defense and aerospace name with a balanced mix of defense electronics, naval systems, and commercial nuclear exposure.
