Mark N. Tompkins, identified as a ten-percent owner of Aeluma, Inc. (ALMU), reported multiple disposals of common stock totaling $1.53 million in value. The sales occurred over a short span from January 29, 2026 through February 2, 2026, with execution prices spanning $15.74 to $17.16.

The detailed breakdown of the transactions is as follows:

  • On January 29, 2026, Tompkins sold 27,297 shares at an average price of $16.75, with individual trade prices ranging from $16.08 to $17.07. He also sold 5,203 shares that same day at an average of $17.16, in a range from $17.08 to $17.22.

  • On February 2, 2026, the filings show a sale of 37,500 shares at an average price of $15.74, with trade prices between $15.34 and $16.03.

After these trades, Tompkins is recorded as directly owning 1,824,988 shares of Aeluma. The company's shares were trading at $15.85 at the time of the report, reflecting a 151.51% gain over the trailing 12 months despite ongoing unprofitability.

Market metrics cited alongside the insider activity include a market capitalization of $281.98 million and a Price/Book ratio of 6.92. InvestingPro analysis referenced in the filings indicates ALMU is presently considered overvalued based on those measures. Market participants are also approaching an upcoming earnings announcement, with the company's next report scheduled for February 11.

Separately, Aeluma released its Q1 FY2026 results. The company reported a non-GAAP net loss of $0.03 per share, which narrowly missed the $0.02 loss analysts had forecast. Revenue for the quarter was reported at $1.4 million, a material increase from $481,000 in the comparable period a year earlier, although that figure was described as falling short of a $1.4 million forecast.

The earnings release underscores continued revenue growth year-over-year while also reflecting a modest shortfall against expectations and a small non-GAAP per-share loss. The company did not report any analyst upgrades or downgrades in the immediate aftermath of the announcement.

Investors tracking insider behavior and valuation multiples will note both the sizable year-over-year stock price appreciation and the recently disclosed insider sales. The combination of a significant insider disposition, an earnings-per-share miss, and an asserted overvaluation metric are all data points market observers may weigh ahead of the February 11 earnings update.


Note on sources: The numerical details above are taken directly from the reported transactions and the company’s financial disclosures.

Risks

  • Insider selling by a large holder could influence investor sentiment and liquidity for the stock - relevant to equity market participants and small-cap investors.
  • The company reported a non-GAAP loss per share that narrowly missed expectations, and revenue that was characterized as below forecast - risks for earnings-sensitive investors.
  • Valuation metrics cited (Price/Book of 6.92 and a market cap of $281.98 million) lead InvestingPro to mark ALMU as overvalued, posing downside risk if growth does not meet market expectations.
