Farkas K Christopher, Vice President and CFO, has demonstrated a clear selling bias in his trading activity involving Curtiss-Wright Corporation (CW), the only company in which he has reported transactions. Across 25 filings since January 2024, his total sales amount to $11.38 million, dwarfing his $7.43 million in purchases. The recent activity skews even more heavily toward disposals, with 11 sales and just 2 buys in the latest period. Notably, his largest single sale occurred on February 18, 2026, when he divested $2.16 million worth of CW shares, followed by another $1.67 million sale on February 4, 2026. These disposals were preceded by awards of $3.89 million and $2.04 million in CW stock on February 3, 2026 and February 4, 2025 respectively, suggesting he may be liquidating equity compensation.
The pattern shows consistent monetization of equity awards through periodic sales, with transactions frequently clustered around March and February. For example, in March 2026 alone, Farkas sold $1.49 million in CW stock across three transactions (March 17-18). Similarly, March 2024 saw $1.3 million in sales alongside $0.44 million in purchases. While he continues to receive and occasionally acquire CW shares—such as the $0.39 million award on March 14, 2024—the overwhelming direction has been toward reducing his position. The data reflects a disciplined approach to diversifying concentrated equity exposure rather than building a long-term stake.
