Exclusive News Insiders Are Selling These 3 High-Flying StocksWritten by Leo Miller. Article Published: 1/19/2026. 
Key Points - 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 experienced significant insider selling recently, spanning rare earth metals, nuclear energy, and aerospace. While insider sales are often viewed as a bearish sign, each transaction needs context. Below we review recent insider activity at MP Materials (NYSE: MP), Oklo (NYSE: OKLO), and Redwire (NYSE: RDW). MP Insiders Sell More Than $40 Million in Two Months First up is MP Materials, the rare earth metals producer that rallied about 224% in 2025. Since early December 2025, the company has seen nearly $46 million in insider selling. That activity represents more than 40% of the stock's total insider selling since the start of 2025 and came from two of the company's most senior executives: CEO James H. Litinsky and CFO Ryan Corbett. About $19 million of those sales were executed under predetermined 10b5-1 plans, which reduces their near-term bearish implications because the sales were scheduled in advance. The remaining roughly $26 million is more concerning. Corbett and Litinsky sold shares in the $60–$63 range; with MP Materials trading near $69 now, those sales are a moderately bearish signal. Insider Selling Surges at Oklo to Start the Year Next is aspiring nuclear energy developer Oklo. After rising more than 100% in 2024, the stock jumped roughly 238% in 2025. Since early December 2025, insiders have sold about $136 million of shares. Most of those sales were by CEO Jacob Dewitte, with some notable transactions from CFO Richard Craig Bealmear. Because Dewitte owns more than 10% of Oklo and all of his sales were executed under a 10b5-1 plan, his transactions are less alarming—they likely reflect a desire for liquidity rather than a loss of confidence. Overall, only about $6.3 million of the recent selling was not part of a 10b5-1 arrangement. Insiders sold between $77 and $88 per share, which is below the stock's current price around $95. Those sales remain a bearish signal, but the structured nature of most transactions tempers their immediate significance. Redwire Insider Sells After Monstrous 2025 Finally, Redwire — the aerospace company that delivered a total return of more than 470% in 2025 — has seen a surge in insider selling in January 2026 after no notable sales in December. In the first weeks of the year the company recorded about $252 million in insider sales, representing over 72% of the stock's insider selling since the start of 2025. Importantly, none of these sales were executed under 10b5-1 plans, which makes them more concerning. The seller was AE Red Holdings, a vehicle operated by AE Industrial Partners, a private equity firm focused on national security, aerospace, and industrial services. Large sales by a presumably well-informed investor are not encouraging. AE sold shares in the $10–$11 range, below the current price near $12. Still, AE remains a more-than-10% owner in Redwire, which provides some evidence of ongoing conviction. Takeaway: Context Matters Of the three, Redwire's insider selling is the most worrisome. MP and Oklo show meaningful bearish signals, but those signals are less definitive—especially where 10b5-1 plans or large insider ownership provide context. Remember that insider trading data are signals, not definitive answers. They are most useful when combined with other fundamental and technical indicators before making investment decisions.
