Bamford Lynn M

Bamford Lynn M, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW), has demonstrated a clear pattern of net buying activity in the company’s stock over time, though recent filings show a shift toward selling. Across 25 reported transactions, Bamford has acquired $28.6 million worth of CW shares while selling $19.2 million, reflecting a net accumulation of $9.4 million in holdings. However, the last 11 trades reveal a more pronounced selling bias, with nine disposals totaling $14.3 million—including a $5.8 million sale on February 4, 2026, and a $2.2 million sale on March 17, 2026—compared to just two acquisitions. The transactions often coincide with equity awards, as seen with multiple "A"-coded (award) filings, including a $13.7 million grant on February 3, 2026, and a $6.5 million grant on February 4, 2025. These awards are frequently followed by sales, such as the $5.8 million disposal the day after the 2026 grant. Smaller periodic purchases, like a $10,387 acquisition in January 2026, suggest ongoing investment activity outside of equity compensation. While Bamford’s long-term position remains substantial, the recent selling trend—particularly the $2.2 million and $5.8 million transactions—indicates a reduction in exposure to CW stock over the past year. The activity underscores a balance between equity-based compensation and discretionary sales, with no trades occurring outside Curtiss-Wright.
