General Dynamics Corp SEC Filings

General Dynamics Corp. (GD) filed a Form 144 indicating an insider’s intent to sell up to 5,490 common shares through Fidelity Brokerage Services.

• Sale size: 5,490 shares, ≈ $1.72 million aggregate market value.
• Planned sale date: 07/28/2025 on the NYSE.
• Share origin: Shares derive from two option grants dated 03/02/2016 and 03/01/2017, exercised for 3,220 and 2,270 shares, respectively, with cash payment on 07/28/2025.
• Float context: The proposed sale equals roughly 0.002% of the 268,993,342 shares outstanding—immaterial to the company’s share count.

No other securities were sold by the filer during the past three months, and the filer certifies no undisclosed material adverse information. The filing is a routine disclosure under Rule 144 and does not include earnings, guidance, or operational updates.

General Dynamics (GD) has filed a Form 144 indicating the proposed sale of 32,560 common shares through Fidelity Brokerage Services. At the price referenced in the filing, the block is valued at roughly $10.22 million. The transaction is slated for 07/25/2025 on the NYSE.

The shares equate to only 0.012 % of the 268.99 million shares outstanding, suggesting minimal dilution. The seller acquired the stock by exercising an option originally granted on 03/07/2018 and will settle the exercise in cash. The filer reports no other sales in the past three months.

General Dynamics Corp. (GD) filed a Form 144 indicating a proposed sale of 2,270 common shares by an insider or affiliated person.

• Market value: approximately $710,036.73 (based on prevailing market price at time of filing).
• Percentage of shares outstanding: ~0.0008% of the company’s 268,993,342 shares — a de-minimis amount that is unlikely to affect float or liquidity.
• Planned sale date: on or about 25 July 2025 via the NYSE; brokerage firm: Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC.
• Source of shares: option grant dated 1 Mar 2017; exercised for cash on 25 Jul 2025.

No other sales were reported in the past three months, and the filer attests to having no undisclosed material adverse information. Form 144 is a notice only; actual sales may or may not occur. Given the small size relative to GD’s market capitalization and share count, the filing is operationally immaterial and is unlikely to influence valuation or trading dynamics.

General Dynamics (GD) posted solid Q2-25 results. Revenue increased 9% YoY to $13.0 bn and diluted EPS advanced 15% to $3.74. First-half sales grew 11% to $25.3 bn with EPS of $7.40 (+21%). Operating cash flow jumped to $1.45 bn (vs $0.54 bn) and total backlog reached $103.7 bn. Aerospace margin expanded 240 bp to 13.2% on higher Gulfstream deliveries; Marine Systems revenue rose 22% on submarine programs; Combat Systems and Technologies remained steady. The board lifted the quarterly dividend 6% to $1.50 and the company repurchased 2.4 m shares for $600 m.

Net debt declined $350 m YTD after redeeming $1.5 bn of 2025 notes and issuing $750 m due 2035; cash ended at $1.5 bn. Customer advances climbed to $10.7 bn, supporting working capital, while shareholders’ equity improved to $23.6 bn. GD recorded $62 m of cumulative contract estimate gains year-to-date. Risks include a revived antitrust class action, margin pressure in Marine Systems, and potential variability on Virginia-class submarine and tracked-vehicle contracts. No updated FY guidance is provided in the filing.
