Significance 7/10

MP Materials CEO James H. Litinsky sold 185,167 shares for $12,801,854.83 on 2026-06-03; stock down 41.0% from 52-week high.

James H. Litinsky (Chairman and CEO) executed 3 separate sales totaling 185,167 shares for $12,801,854.83 on 2026-06-03, with individual transaction prices ranging from $68.65 to $71.31 and a blended average of $69.14. The current stock price of $59.18 is down 41.0% from the 52-week high of $100.25 and down 18.5% over the past 30 days, positioning this sale above recent market levels. Despite retaining 11,620,798 shares (11.62M shares) post-transaction—a modest -1.6% reduction in holdings—the timing relative to price momentum warrants attention. His same-ticker history at MP shows only 1 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, and his cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 40.00% well-timed rate and average 90-day return of +9.0%, indicating inconsistent timing precision. The company's fundamentals show continued unprofitability (net income: $-7,968,000.00 for the latest quarter) despite revenue growth of +10.1% year-over-year, creating a context of operational losses alongside this material insider disposition.

Significance 6/10

CEO James H. Litinsky sold 400,000 shares (3.3% of pre-transaction holdings) for $26,225,224.61 across 9 sales May 27-29, blended at $65.56

James H. Litinsky (Chairman and CEO) executed 9 separate sales totaling 400,000 shares for $26,225,224.61 between May 27-29, 2026, at prices ranging from $64.67 to $68.18 and a blended average of $65.56. This represents a 3.3% reduction in his pre-transaction holdings of 12,205,965 shares. The stock currently trades at $64.70, down 35.5% from its 52-week high of $100.25 but up 5.6% over the past 30 days and 9.9% over 90 days. The company reported negative net income of $-8.0M in its latest quarter despite 10.1% annual revenue growth, indicating operational strain despite topline expansion. Litinsky's cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 40.00%, suggesting his prior sells occurred before stock declines only 40% of the time; his same-ticker history at MP reveals only 1 of 5 prior sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with mixed recent outcomes (negative 90-day returns on 2 of his last 5 MP sales). The multi-day sale pattern and material dollar volume warrant close observation of subsequent earnings and operational performance given the unprofitable backdrop.

Significance 8/10

MP Materials CEO Litinsky sells 300.0K shares for $19.6M at blended avg $65.45, retaining 12.21M shares post-transaction.

Chairman and CEO James H. Litinsky sold 300,000 shares across four transactions at prices ranging from $64.93 to $67.12, generating $19,634,359.10 at a blended average of $65.45 — a significant premium to the current price of $60.31. This sale occurred while the stock sits -39.8% from its 52-week high of $100.25, and against a backdrop of an unprofitable company reporting net income of $-8.0M on revenue of $90.6M. His prior 5 sells at MP specifically show a 5 of 5 well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, meaning the stock declined after each of those transactions in retrospect. His cross-ticker track record across 20 prior sells shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 55.00%, making the MP-specific pattern notably stronger than his broader historical average.

Significance 7/10

CEO Litinsky sells 300,000 shares for $19.2M; all 5 prior MP trades well-timed at 90-day mark

James H. Litinsky, Chairman and CEO, executed two separate sales totaling 300,000 shares for $19,209,816.42 at a blended average price of $64.03 on 2026-04-17 and 2026-04-20, reducing his holdings by 2.3% to 12.51M shares. His prior five sales at MP (all executed within the past four months) showed a perfect 90-day timing pattern—each sale preceded subsequent stock declines, indicating consistent execution discipline or information advantage specific to this ticker. Against this context, the current sale represents continued adherence to a demonstrated pattern: all five of his prior MP trades were well-timed at the 90-day mark, a material distinction from his cross-ticker track record (45.00% well-timed rate). The company remains unprofitable (full-year net income negative, latest quarter net loss $-41.8M) despite 10.1% annual revenue growth, and the stock is now 32.9% below its 52-week high ($98.65) from its transaction-time prices of $64.03–$64.05—creating a factual backdrop against which the CEO's sustained selling pattern warrants investor attention.

Significance 6/10

CEO James H. Litinsky sold 300,000 shares for $19,246,616.00 in 2 separate sales at blended average price $64.16

James H. Litinsky, Chairman and CEO of MP Materials, executed two separate sales totaling 300,000 shares (300.0K shares) for $19,246,616.00 on January 7-8, 2026, reducing his holdings from 13.11M shares to 12.81M shares (-2.3%). The sales occurred at prices ($64.01 and $64.17) meaningfully above the current price of $62.00, though the stock remains -37.2% from its 52-week high of $98.65. Notably, his prior 5 trades at MP (all in late 2025) showed negative 30-day returns ranging from -12.4% to -16.5%, and none of those measurable outcomes reached positive 90-day returns—a timing pattern that offers no support for predictive accuracy at this ticker. The company is operating at a loss ($-41.8M net income in the latest quarter) despite a market cap of $11.0B, and annual revenue has declined -19.6%, creating a backdrop of operational difficulty that coincides with the CEO's material liquidation.

MP Materials CEO Litinsky sells 385,000 shares for $24.2M in three transactions; stock down 37.1% from 52-week high despite 13% 30-day rally.

Chairman and CEO James H. Litinsky executed 3 separate sales totaling 385,000 shares (385.0K shares) for $24,232,308.26 ($24.2M) on 2025-12-05 at prices ranging from $62.79 to $63.42, reducing his holdings by 2.9%. The stock is currently trading at $62.09, down 37.1% from its 52-week high of $98.65, despite posting a 13.0% gain over the past 30 days. MP Materials is unprofitable with revenue of $53,553,000.00 ($53.6M) in the latest quarter and net income of $-41,780,000.00 ($-41.8M), alongside annual revenue decline of -19.6%. At his prior trades in this ticker, Litinsky's 90-day timing has been poor—0 of 3 prior measurable same-ticker sells were well-timed (all posted positive 90-day returns, meaning the stock rose after he sold). The sale occurs after elevated recent activity at this ticker, with two additional sells filed on 2025-11-20, suggesting active portfolio adjustments despite the company's operational challenges.

Significance 7/10

MP Materials CEO Litinsky sells 248,411 shares for $15,864,582.52; stock down -42.5% from 52-week high, company unprofitable with -19.6% revenue decline.

CEO James H. Litinsky executed 2 separate sales totaling 248,411 shares for $15,864,582.52 on 2025-11-20, reducing his holdings by 1.8%. The sales occurred at blended average price of $63.86, but the current price of $56.68 represents a -42.5% decline from the 52-week high of $98.65 and a -23.5% drop over the prior 30 days. Critically, MP Materials reported negative net income of $-41,780,000.00 in the latest quarter, with full-year profitability also negative, and annual revenue contracted by -19.6% year-over-year. Notably, Litinsky's prior 5 sales at this ticker all showed positive 90-day returns (ranging +29.3% to +66.6%), meaning the stock subsequently rose after each sale—a pattern of poorly-timed exits—yet this current filing occurs amid deteriorating fundamentals and severe equity depreciation that may test whether that historical reversal pattern persists.

Significance 5/10

MP Materials CEO James H. Litinsky sold 199,180 shares ($5.4M) at $27.08 on 2025-04-14, retaining 13.64M shares; stock now near 52-week high.

Litinsky sold 199,180 shares (a -1.4% reduction from his 13.84M pre-transaction holdings) at $27.08, with the current price at $27.58 near the 52-week high of $27.59. The transaction occurred while MP Materials is unprofitable (net income $-25.5M on revenue of $62.9M) and facing annual revenue contraction of -19.6%. His cross-ticker track record shows 13 prior sells averaging +11.4% 90-day returns, indicating his prior sales were generally preceded stock appreciation—a pattern of poorly-timed exits. At MP specifically, his 5 most recent sales (March 18–26) remain too recent to measure outcome. The sale at near-peak pricing with the company unprofitable and in revenue decline warrants attention to whether fundamentals are deteriorating further.

Significance 6/10

CEO James H. Litinsky sold 414,812 shares at $27.03 for $11.2M; 2 separate transactions on Mar 25–26

James H. Litinsky, Chairman and CEO of MP Materials, executed 2 separate sales totaling 414,812 shares for $11,211,812.79 on March 25–26, 2025, at a blended average price of $27.03. This reduces his holdings from 14,257,068 shares to 13,842,256 shares (a -2.9% reduction). The sales occurred at a price -2.8% below the 52-week high of $26.93 and near current levels, with the stock up +11.1% over 30 days and +59.0% over 90 days. Notably, this activity follows a pattern of 4 other sales by Litinsky at MP in the preceding week (March 17–20), suggesting concentrated selling activity by the CEO. Against the backdrop of deteriorating fundamentals—the company is unprofitable with a -19.6% annual revenue decline and $-25.5M net income in the latest quarter—the recurring sales warrant scrutiny of the company's operational trajectory and capital allocation priorities.

Significance 6/10

CEO Litinsky sold 95,621 shares of MP at $27.04 on 2025-03-20; third consecutive day of sales amid unprofitable operations

Litinsky sold 95,621 shares at $27.04, reducing his stake by 0.7% to 14,257,068 shares. This sale marks the third consecutive day of selling (2025-03-17 through 2025-03-20), suggesting a deliberate, sustained reduction in position. The company faces material headwinds: revenue declined 19.6% year-over-year, net income is -$25,516,000.00 in the latest quarter, and the company remained unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. While the stock has recovered +63.5% over 90 days and trades near its 52-week high of $26.83, the multi-day sell pattern in a fundamentally challenged business warrants attention to whether management sees deteriorating conditions ahead.
