Curtiss-Wright VP sells shares worth $65,072

Gary A. Ogilby, Vice President and Corporate Controller at Curtiss-Wright Corp (NYSE:CW), recently sold 200 shares of the company’s common stock. The shares were sold at an average price of $325.36 per share, totaling approximately $65,072. This transaction was part of Ogilby’s compliance with the company’s share ownership guidelines, allowing him to sell a portion of his vested award to cover tax obligations. The sale occurred as Curtiss-Wright, currently valued at $12.2 billion, trades near its 52-week high of $393.40.

The sale follows a recent acquisition of 397 shares of common stock, which Ogilby received through the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) granted under Curtiss-Wright’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan. These RSUs, granted on March 17, 2022, vested after a three-year period. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong financial health with a "GOOD" overall score, supported by liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations.

After these transactions, Ogilby holds a total of 2,571 shares of Curtiss-Wright common stock. The company, which has maintained dividend payments for 52 consecutive years, currently trades at a P/E ratio of 30.5, with analysts setting price targets ranging from $304 to $450 per share.
