Insiders at four U.S. aerospace, defense and national-security technology companies reported about $2.1 million in share purchases in September, according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 4 filings.
Craig Arnold, a director of Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (HONA), reported buying 6,400 shares on Sept. 1 at $156 apiece, a transaction valued at $998,400. The filing listed 6,400 shares held directly after the purchase.
At Karman Holdings Inc. (KRMN), three directors reported purchases on Sept. 16. David Stinnett bought 27,000 shares at a weighted average of $37.3203 each, while Mary D. Petryszyn bought 500 at $37.4399 and Stephen Twitty bought 275 at $36.79. Their reported prices imply a combined value of about $1.036 million. Stinnett’s filing put his purchase prices between $36.99 and $37.52.
Andrew Merriman, chief operating officer of Castellum Inc. (CTM), reported two purchases on Sept. 9: 40,000 shares at $0.6193 and 10,000 at $0.62. Together, the transactions were valued at $30,972.

SEC instructions group open-market transactions and private deals under code P. SEC Form 4 code P covers both open-market and private purchases, so the filings do not identify where each transaction took place.
