Shardelow Bianca B.

Shardelow Bianca B., VP, Controller & CAO, has demonstrated a consistent pattern of selling activity in Crane Co. (CXT) shares, with no recorded purchases across 33 transactions totaling $138,349.96 in sales. The transactions, primarily coded as "F" (indicating open-market or privately negotiated sales), show a recurring annual trend concentrated in late January and February. Notable sales include a $16,590.80 transaction on February 7, 2026, and a $17,963.40 sale on January 25, 2025, with smaller dispositions such as $5,360.19 and $5,714.24 in late February 2026. The absence of any buy transactions suggests a one-sided disposition strategy, though the filings include multiple "A" (award) and "M" (exercise of derivative security) coded entries with zero value, likely reflecting equity grants or option exercises without immediate monetization. The sales are methodically timed, often clustered within a narrow window—particularly in early and late February—which may align with vesting schedules or tax planning. The dollar amounts vary, with some exceeding $10,000 and others under $6,000, but the lack of buying activity and the repeated annual cadence point to a deliberate reduction in exposure rather than portfolio rebalancing. All transactions involve CXT, indicating no diversification into other securities. While the filings do not disclose holding periods or remaining stakes, the pattern underscores a clear sell-side bias without recent deviations. The absence of trades in other companies further narrows the scope to CXT as the sole vehicle for Shardelow's disclosed insider activity.
