About the companies Congress trades
This page ranks publicly traded companies that members of the U.S. Congress have disclosed buying or selling within the selected time range, ordered by how heavily members trade each one. Under the 2012 STOCK Act, senators and representatives must report each stock trade within 45 days, and this directory turns those filings into one view of which companies draw the most congressional activity, how many members are involved, and how much money has moved.
Use the filters to narrow by sector or security type, set a minimum trade volume or risk score, or search for a specific company or member. Open any issuer to see the full trade history behind the numbers, or head to the member leaderboard to rank the politicians themselves.
Two independent scores sit next to each row. Q Score is a 0 to 100 percentile rating of a stock's forward opportunity relative to its peers, built from momentum, valuation, short interest, and related factors. Risk score flags companies whose congressional trading activity stands out, such as unusual concentration or timing among the members trading it. Neither is investment advice; both are shown for reference and education.
Frequently asked questions
What stocks does Congress trade the most?
The most traded stocks by politicians are usually large, widely held companies, with names like Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, and Amazon near the top by disclosed trade count. Sort the table by Trades to see the current leaders, since the ranking shifts as new filings come in. Each company links to its full breakdown of who traded it and when.
Where does this data come from?
Every row is built from congressional periodic transaction reports filed under the STOCK Act. Members of the House and Senate are required to disclose their stock trades, and those public filings are the source for the trade counts, member counts, and volume shown here. We do not add trades that were not disclosed.
How current is the data?
The rankings update as new disclosures are filed, but the filings themselves lag the actual trade. The STOCK Act gives members up to 45 days to report a trade, so the most recent congress stock trades can take several weeks to appear. Pick a time range to focus on a specific window of activity.
How do I see which stocks Congress is buying right now?
Set the time range to a recent window like 1M or 3M, then sort by trades or volume to surface the stocks Congress is buying and selling most in that period. Open any company to separate the buys from the sells and see which members were behind them.
What is the risk score?
The risk score is a proprietary signal that flags companies whose congressional trading activity stands out, for example unusual concentration or timing. It is shown for reference and education only, is not a rating of the company or its stock, and is not investment advice.
What is the Q Score?
Q Score is Quantellect's 0 to 100 rating of a stock's forward opportunity relative to its peer group, built from momentum, trend, valuation, short interest, squeeze pressure, and liquidity. A stock is only compared to other stocks and a fund only to other funds, so a score of 90 puts that security at the 90th percentile of its own peer group. It is shown for reference and education only, not investment advice.
What is the difference between Q Score and risk score?
Q Score rates a security's forward opportunity against its peer group. Risk score flags unusual patterns in how Congress is trading it, such as concentrated buying among a small group of members or trades clustered right before a price move. A stock can carry a high Q Score and a high risk score at the same time, since the two measure different things and neither predicts the other.
