Adam Smith Stock Trades

On August 8, 2025, a single financial disclosure filing brought Adam Smith's disclosure record into public view for the first time that year: eighteen separate stock sales, all filed the same day, all attributed to his spouse. The list includes widely recognized public companies: Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Tesla, Disney, Citigroup, Procter & Gamble, Deere, Union Pacific, UPS. There were no purchases in the filing. Every one of the eighteen transactions was a sale, and every one was disclosed in the same modest range of $1,001 to $15,000.

Smith, a Democrat representing Washington's 9th District in the House, has one year of disclosed transaction activity in the record: 2025. The database shows no earlier disclosure history to compare it against, so this filing is best read on its own terms rather than as part of a longer pattern. What it shows is a broad, same-day set of sales across a wide swath of sectors, all attributed to his spouse, rather than a series of disclosed transactions spread over multiple dates.

Single-Day, Broad-Based Sales

All eighteen transactions carry the attribution code SP, meaning they were made by Smith's spouse rather than by Smith personally. That distinction matters. Nothing in the disclosure record indicates these were Smith's own investment decisions, and the filing should be read as spouse-attributed transaction activity rather than a reflection of the congressman's individual trading judgment.

The transactions themselves span a wide range of the market. Industrials dominate, with six of the eighteen sales concentrated in that sector: Deere, Union Pacific, UPS, Alaska Air Group, PACCAR, and Republic Services. Communication Services and Information Technology each account for two sales, represented by Disney and Alphabet on one side and Apple and Microsoft on the other. The remaining sales are scattered one apiece across Consumer Discretionary (Tesla), Consumer Staples (Procter & Gamble), Financials (Citigroup), Health Care (CVS Health), Materials (Newmont), and Real Estate (Weyerhaeuser). Two names in the filing, ABB Ltd and Berkshire Hathaway Class B, carry no sector classification in the underlying data.

The breadth of the sale list, touching airlines, railroads, big tech, consumer staples, healthcare, mining, and packaged goods in a single filing, documents a cross-sector set of same-day sales rather than a sector-specific transaction pattern. The data does not indicate what prompted the sales, and the filing contains no corresponding purchases.

Sector Footprint and Notable Names

Several of the companies sold are worth understanding on their own terms, independent of the disclosure. Deere manufactures agricultural and construction equipment, spanning row-crop tractors to construction machinery. Union Pacific operates in the U.S. railroad business, moving products ranging from grain to automobiles. UPS provides package delivery and logistics services through domestic and international air and ground operations. Alongside them in the industrials sale group, PACCAR builds heavy trucks under the Kenworth and Peterbilt brands, and Republic Services runs waste collection and recycling operations across the U.S. and Canada.

Outside industrials, the sold names include some of the most closely watched companies in the market. Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet span consumer devices, enterprise software and cloud infrastructure, and internet search and advertising. Disney spans film and television production, streaming through Disney+ and Hulu, and its theme park and resort operations. Citigroup is a global diversified bank with operations spanning consumer banking, institutional markets, and wealth management. CVS Health combines pharmacy benefit management, retail pharmacy, and health insurance under one roof. Tesla designs and manufactures electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Newmont is a gold producer that also explores for copper and silver. Weyerhaeuser is one of the largest private owners of timberland in the world, alongside wood products manufacturing. Procter & Gamble owns a portfolio of household consumer brands spanning personal care, grooming, and home products.

No one security dominates the transaction record: each disclosed ticker appears exactly once, and each entry is a sale dated August 8, 2025. The most frequently disclosed securities are therefore tied at one transaction apiece, reinforcing that the record reflects breadth across names rather than repeated activity in any one security.

Context from the broader disclosure population is worth noting. Of the 537 sitting members of Congress tracked as of August 22, 2026, 276 have no disclosed trading activity at all, including 237 of 437 sitting House members. Smith's filing places him among the minority of members with any disclosed activity on record, even though that activity consists of a single day's worth of spouse-attributed sales rather than an ongoing trading pattern. Smith does not currently carry a Quantellect Score; no score row exists for him as of the latest published scoring date of August 21, 2026, a status shared by the majority of sitting members, only 73 of whom currently have one.

Disclosure and methodology notes

This profile is built from Adam Smith's official periodic transaction report, filed under the disclosure requirements of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 and the House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure instruction guide. The underlying filing is publicly available from the House Clerk's disclosure database. All amounts reflect disclosed reporting ranges, not exact transaction values. Transactions attributed to a spouse, dependent, trust, or adviser reflect the disclosure's own attribution and are not necessarily the personal investment decisions of the member of Congress. This profile is limited to the disclosed transactions.
