CapitolRadar analysis
8 disclosed HWM trades split 3 buys to 5 sells
8 trades in Howmet Aerospace were tracked from September 16, 2024, through August 11, 2026. The activity comprised 3 buys and 5 sells by 2 distinct traders, giving sells a two-trade lead over buys. This is a small sample, so the buy-sell split should be read as a description of the disclosed records rather than a broad signal about Industrials or the Aerospace & Defense industry.
3 buys were attributed to Michael McCaul, making him the only identified buyer in the supplied data and accounting for every tracked HWM purchase. His most recent reported buy was dated September 16, 2025. The five remaining transactions were sells, although the supplied facts do not provide a trader-level breakdown for those sales.
5 of 8 trades were concentrated in two quarters
3 trades occurred in 2025 Q2, all of them sells, while 2 buys were recorded in 2024 Q3. Together, those two quarters represented 5 of the 8 tracked transactions. The other activity consisted of 1 sell in 2024 Q4, 1 buy in 2025 Q3, and 1 sell in 2026 Q3.
1 buy in 2025 Q3 was the latest purchase in the record. The subsequent listed activity was the single 2026 Q3 trade, which was a sell. With only eight observations across five active quarters and two traders, quarter-to-quarter comparisons remain especially sensitive to individual disclosures.
6 additional tickers overlap with the HWM buyer cohort
1 HWM buyer also bought each of KEYS, WDAY, HURN, VOO, EL, and SPGI. Because the HWM data contains only one identified buyer, these overlaps describe a very small cohort and do not establish a broader trading pattern.
45 days of disclosure lag may separate a transaction from when it becomes publicly visible. Reported transaction amounts, when presented as ranges, are estimates rather than exact values; timing and estimated sizing should therefore be treated as disclosure limitations.
