These disclosed congressional purchases have delivered substantial gains that any investor could have followed starting from the exact date each filing became public. The returns below are measured strictly from the disclosure date forward, and the public could have seen every one of these positions the day the reports were filed.
Leading the list are three outliers we are still verifying. Rep. Gilbert Cisneros filed his SNDK purchase on February 13, 2026, a position that has returned 769.18 percent since disclosure. Rep. Ro Khanna disclosed his WDC purchase on January 6, 2026, now showing a 766.18 percent return and likewise an outlier under review. The same lawmaker's CCG filing, disclosed February 6, 2026, has returned 590.12 percent since it entered the public record and is another outlier we continue to verify.
The fully corroborated positions also show exceptional performance from their disclosure dates. Rep. Lisa McClain disclosed buys in both DELL and CIEN on August 13, 2025. DELL has returned 424.74 percent since that filing while CIEN has returned 422.07 percent. Rep. Jefferson Shreve disclosed his VICR purchase on April 11, 2025, a position now at 404.21 percent since becoming public. Trade sizes ranged from $1,001-$15,000 for most of these filings up to $15,001-$50,000 for the VICR buy, concentrated heavily in technology names with one communication services holding.
With holding periods between 266 and 636 days, these examples illustrate how select disclosed trades have produced alpha well above broad market benchmarks once the filings were released. The data suggests lawmakers' timely reported purchases in these sectors aligned with strong subsequent price action visible to any retail investor reviewing the public disclosures. Not every congressional filing delivers comparable results, yet the consistency across these six positions merits close attention as new filings continue to arrive.
