$CWNeutralHigh confidence
Context

SEC Form 4 shows Watts John C (EVP & Chief Growth Officer) sold 200 shares of Curtiss-Wright at $770.56 on 2026-06-15 under a 10b5-1 plan.

Expected impact

Low likelihood of a sustained price move solely from this Form 4; any reaction would be short-lived unless paired with other catalysts.

Evidence & confidence

Market effects

Counterpoint
