What Stocks Is Congress Buying Right Now?

The stocks the most members reported buying

Ranked by the number of different members who reported buying each stock on reports filed from August 1, 2026 through October 29, 2026, then by the number of purchases. Counting members rather than purchases keeps one large filer from filling the list: every member counts once for a stock, however many times they bought it. 289 of the 340 stocks and funds were bought by a single member.

How recent is right now

A disclosure arrives after the trade. Members have up to 45 days from a trade to report it, so the newest report is not the newest trade. The median purchase on these reports was made 26 days before it was filed, and 88% of them were filed within 45 days. The latest purchase on them is dated October 15, 2026. Narrow the window to the latest 30 days of reports and 14 members reported 296 purchases, with HD and TSM bought by the most members (3). New reports appear as they are filed on the filings page, and how to track Congress stock trades explains where they come from.

What members reported selling

On the same reports, 42 members disclosed 1,001 stock sales of 392 different stocks and funds. The stocks the most members reported selling were MSFT (11 members), AAPL (10 members), GOOGL (7 members), NVDA (7 members) and MCD (6 members). 14 of the 15 stocks in the table were also sold by at least one member over the same reports, so a stock on this list was not bought by Congress as a group. More members reported selling MSFT (11) than buying it (7). The longer record of purchases against sales is in is Congress buying or selling stocks.

Who reported the most purchases

Purchases are far more concentrated than the list of buyers. Rohit Khanna (D-CA) reported 463 of the 708, 65%, across 246 different stocks and funds. The next largest were Thomas H Tuberville (R-AL, 34), John Boozman (R-AR, 30), David J. Taylor (R-OH, 28) and Michael T. McCaul (R-TX, 23). Trades in a spouse's or dependent child's account go on the member's report and count for the member; the spouse and child trades article shows how much of the record that is.

By sector

By sector, the purchases on these reports were led by Technology (150 from 20 members), Healthcare (87 from 9 members), Consumer Discretionary (82 from 7 members) and Industrials (63 from 6 members). The sector counts cover stocks with a sector on file. The all-time picture is in what sectors members of Congress trade.

What this does and does not show

This is a count of reported purchases, not a list of good investments or a suggestion to buy anything. A count does not say how much a member spent, since reports give amounts in ranges, and it does not say why: a purchase can be a broker's or an adviser's decision, a reinvested position, or a family account. 7 members is still a small part of 535 seats. How members' purchases have done against the S&P 500 over the longer record is in does Congress beat the market, and the most-traded stocks in Congress gives the all-time counts. Reporting a trade is what the law requires, and none of these counts is evidence of wrongdoing by any member.

Methodology and honest caveats

The figures cover reports filed from August 1, 2026 through October 29, 2026, the latest 90 days of reports on file, and they move as new reports arrive. A purchase counts when the filing gives a ticker, so it covers listed stocks and funds. 324 more purchases on the same reports have no ticker (bonds, Treasury bills, private holdings and the like) and are left out, and so are 9 options lines, which are covered in do members of Congress trade options. A trade that a later report repeats, as an amended report does, is counted once, which removes 8 lines. Exchanges are not counted as purchases or sales. Each member is counted once, including a member who appears under two spellings or moved between chambers. How we parse filings is set out in our methodology.
