These returns are measured from the DISCLOSURE date forward and the public could have seen each of these positions when they were filed. Any investor reviewing the official disclosures on senate.gov or house.gov at the time could have followed the trades as they became public record. House members from both parties recorded several buys that later produced triple- and quadruple-digit returns under this standard.
Rep. Lisa McClain, Republican from Michigan, disclosed her purchase of SNDK, Sandisk Corporation common stock, on November 21, 2025. This position is an outlier we are still verifying that shows a current return of 885.84 percent. California Democrat Ro Khanna disclosed a buy of CCG, Coca Cola Consolidated Inc, on February 6, 2026. That position is also an outlier we are still verifying, returning 839.21 percent since disclosure. Khanna's separate purchase of MRNA, Moderna Inc, disclosed January 6, 2026, is likewise an outlier we are still verifying and has returned 514.15 percent from the disclosure date.
The corroborated positions show similarly strong results. McClain's purchase of CIEN, Ciena Corporation, disclosed on August 13, 2025, has delivered a 386.74 percent return since filing. Rep. Tim Moore of North Carolina disclosed his buy of TZA, the Direxion Daily Small Cap Bear 3X ETF, on July 9, 2025; that position has returned 292.75 percent. Rep. Scott H. Peters, Democrat from California, disclosed his purchase of KSS, Kohl's Corporation, on May 16, 2025 after a mid-April transaction. It has returned 273.75 percent since disclosure. These trades spanned technology, healthcare, communication services, and consumer cyclical sectors, with holding periods between 299 and 654 days.
The data suggests unusual timing between the public filing dates and the subsequent outperformance relative to broader market benchmarks. Four distinct House members generated these results, with no single party or chamber dominating the list. While such patterns invite scrutiny of how lawmakers select investments, the filings themselves remain the primary source and the only verifiable starting point for measuring these specific returns. Investors tracking disclosures in real time would have had access to the same information once each report cleared the required reporting window.
