Tompkins has been an active seller in early 2026, disposing of $2.0M in shares across six transactions in late January and early February at prices between $14.63 and $17.16. The sales appear systematic — consistent lot sizes across consecutive trading days.
What It Means
Unlike many insider sellers who exit entirely, Tompkins maintains a commanding 1.79M-share position worth approximately $27M at current prices. His $2.2M in career purchases alongside $21.4M in sales suggests he built his position primarily through grants and options. The 10:1 sell-to-buy ratio is moderate by insider standards.
Aeluma operates in the compound semiconductor space, targeting applications in lidar, 3D sensing, and defense. As a small-cap company, ALMU is more sensitive to insider trading signals. Tompkins' pattern of selling while retaining a large position suggests portfolio diversification rather than a bearish outlook.
What to Watch
- ALMU revenue growth from lidar and defense contracts
- Whether Tompkins' selling pace increases at higher prices
- Institutional interest in upcoming 13F filings
- Aeluma product adoption in autonomous vehicle programs
