Insiders Cash Out at MP, Oklo and Redwire

AerospaceJan 19, 2026

Insider selling has accelerated across three high‑volatility names in rare earths, nuclear and aerospace, raising caution for investors.

MP Materials: Since December 2025 insiders have sold roughly $46 million of stock after a 224% 2025 rally. CEO James Litinsky and CFO Ryan Corbett accounted for the bulk of sales; about $19 million occurred under prearranged 10b5‑1 plans, while roughly $26 million was open market selling at $60–$63, versus a current price near $69.

Oklo: The aspiring nuclear developer saw about $136 million in insider sales since December, driven largely by CEO Jacob Dewitte and some by CFO Richard Bealmear. Most sales were executed under 10b5‑1 plans (Dewitte is a >10% owner), leaving only $6.3 million of unscheduled sales. Transactions took place at $77–$88, below today’s ~$95 level.

Redwire: The most concerning case is Redwire, which experienced roughly $252 million of insider sales in early January 2026-over 72% of its 2025–26 insider selling-and none under 10b5‑1 plans. AE Red Holdings sold at $10–$11 while retaining >10% ownership; the stock trades near $12 after a 470% 2025 surge.

Interpretation: Redwire’s sales are the strongest bearish signal; MP and Oklo warrant caution but require broader context and additional indicators.
