Sunday's Exclusive News Insiders Are Selling These 3 High-Flying StocksAuthor: Leo Miller. Published: 1/19/2026. 
At a Glance - MP Materials and Oklo have seen sizable insider selling, but a meaningful portion occurred under 10b5-1 plans, which reduces the near-term bearish read.
- Non-10b5-1 selling at MP Materials and Oklo occurred below current prices, creating a moderately bearish signaldespite strong prior-year gains.
- Redwire’s January 2026 insider selling stands out most because it is large, concentrated, and not tied to 10b5-1 plans.
Some of the market's most volatile stocks have seen significant insider selling recently. This includes notable names across rare earth metals, nuclear energy, and aerospace. While insider selling is often viewed as a bearish signal, each trade needs to be examined to determine its true meaning. Below we review insider activity at MP Materials (NYSE: MP), Oklo (NYSE: OKLO), and Redwire (NYSE: RDW). MP Insiders Sell More Than $40 Million of Shares in Two Months First up is MP Materials, the rare-earth metals producer that surged 224% in 2025. Since early December 2025, the company has recorded nearly $46 million of insider selling, which represents more than 40% of the stock's total insider sales so far in 2025. Gold is up almost $2,000 an ounce in the past year, catching many on Wall Street by surprise. But one analyst predicted the move. Right after Trump's election, he called for gold to pass $3,200, and it happened within two days. He said it would soar past $4,100, and it did within two months. He predicted $5,000 early in 2026, and that just happened. Now he says gold is headed to $7,000 soon with $10,000 on the near horizon. But despite gold's run, there's a way to make even more, an approach that has delivered 31, 65, even 469 times higher gains than gold itself. Learn the critical details now. Much of this activity came from two executives: CEO James H. Litinsky and CFO Ryan Corbett. About $19 million of the sales occurred under predetermined 10b5-1 plans, which limits their near-term bearish implications because those plans are set up in advance and are not timed to current market conditions. The remaining roughly $26 million in sales is more concerning. Corbett and Litinsky sold shares between $60 and $63 per share; with MP Materials now trading near $69, this insider selling provides a moderately bearish signal. Insider Selling Surges at Oklo as the Year Turns Next is aspiring nuclear energy provider Oklo. After climbing more than 100% in 2024 and surging 238% in 2025, the stock has seen a substantial increase in insider sales since December 2025 — roughly $136 million. Nearly all of these sales were executed by CEO Jacob Dewitte, with CFO Richard Craig Bealmear accounting for some additional sales. Importantly, Dewitte's sales were made under a 10b5-1 plan. As an owner of more than 10% of Oklo, he may simply be seeking liquidity from a long-term stake. Overall, only about $6.3 million of these recent sales were not made under a 10b5-1 plan. The majority of the trades occurred between $77 and $88 per share — below the stock's current price around $95 — so while the activity is a bearish signal, the presence of 10b5-1 plans and Dewitte's ownership stake make it less alarming than the headline figure suggests. Redwire Insider Cashes Out After Monstrous 2025 Finally, Redwire — the aerospace company that delivered a total return of more than 470% in 2025 — has seen a large wave of insider selling in January 2026. Although there was no insider selling in December, the company has recorded about $252 million of sales in the first weeks of the year. Those sales account for more than 72% of Redwire's insider selling since the start of 2025. None of these sales were made under predetermined 10b5-1 plans, which gives them stronger bearish implications. The seller was AE Red Holdings, a holding company affiliated with AE Industrial Partners, a private equity manager focused on national security, aerospace, and industrial services. AE executed sales between $10 and $11 per share, below the current stock price near $12. Selling by a large, well-informed investor is a clear red flag, although AE still remains a more than 10% owner of Redwire, which suggests some ongoing conviction. What This Means for Investors Of the three companies, Redwire's insider selling is the most worrying. MP and Oklo both show meaningful bearish signals, but those signals are mixed by the presence of 10b5-1 plans and insider ownership levels. Investors should remember that insider trading data are signals, not definitive proof. They are most useful when combined with fundamental analysis, valuation metrics, and other indicators before making investment decisions.
