What Happened
Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss‑Wright Corp (CW), acquired 17 shares on July 6, 2026 at an effective price of $634.88 per share, for a total of about $10,793. This was an ESPP purchase (an acquisition), i.e., a company stock purchase under an employee plan rather than an open‑market buy.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-07-06 (filed the same day).
• Shares acquired: 17 at $634.88 each; total ≈ $10,793.
• Shares owned after transaction: not reported in the Form 4 filing.
• Footnotes: Shares were bought under the Issuer’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP); purchase price reflects a 15% discount on the average selling price of CW on June 30, 2026 (end of the offering period). The transaction is exempt under Rule 16b‑3(c) and (d).
• Timeliness: Filing date equals transaction date, so the Form 4 appears timely.

Context
ESPP purchases are routine employee compensation transactions: payroll deductions accumulate over a six‑month offering period and are used to buy shares at a discounted price at period end. Such purchases are generally viewed differently than open‑market insider buys (they are often periodic and plan‑driven), and do not by themselves prove a change in insider sentiment.
