August Pfluger Stock Trades

August Pfluger Stock Trades

The most recent disclosure from Representative August Pfluger's office marks a turn from the pattern of the prior year. In 2025, the Texas Republican's household reported six transactions, four sales and two exchanges, with zero purchases across the year. By contrast, an April 15, 2026 filing reported six purchases, all with a transaction date of March 13, 2026. Four were classified in the energy sector, including three businesses described in the data as owning or acquiring mineral and royalty interests. The shift from a year containing only sales and exchanges to a same-day purchase cluster is the clearest signal in the record of how this disclosure activity has moved over time.

Since the earliest transaction date captured in the data, January 19, 2021, Pfluger's household has reported 34 transactions: 14 purchases, 12 sales, and 8 exchanges. Of those, 22 are attributed directly to Pfluger himself, 9 to a spouse, and 3 to a dependent child, with no joint or unattributed entries. Activity has not been steady. Twelve transactions carry 2021 transaction dates, five carry 2022 dates, two carry 2024 dates, six carry 2025 dates, and nine carry 2026 dates, with 2021 and 2026 standing out as the most active periods on record. Both of the busiest years include multiple securities changing hands on the same transaction date, rather than a steady drip of individual trades throughout the year.

The March 2026 Purchases and a Turn Toward Energy

The six purchases dated March 13, 2026, and disclosed in an April 15, 2026 filing, were all attributed to Pfluger personally and each fell in the $15,001 to $50,000 range. Official filing. Four of the six sit in the energy sector under the industry classification oil, gas and consumable fuels: Enterprise Products Partners, a Houston-based midstream operator that gathers, processes, and transports natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, and refined products across a multi-segment pipeline network; Viper Energy, a Midland, Texas-based owner of mineral and royalty interests focused on the Permian Basin and a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy; Dorchester Minerals, a Dallas-based owner of royalty and net profits interests across 594 counties and parishes in 28 states; and Kimbell Royalty Partners, a Fort Worth-based owner and acquirer of mineral and royalty interests in U.S. oil and gas properties. The same filing also disclosed purchases of Berkshire Hathaway common stock (BRK.B) and Amerco Series N non-voting stock (UHALB), though the database does not carry sector or company-description detail for either entry.

A Media and Communications Thread Running Through Earlier Years

Outside the March 2026 cluster, the most frequently disclosed names in the record sit in communication services, which accounts for 13 of the 34 total transactions, more than any other sector. Warner Bros. Discovery appears five times between April 2022 and February 2026, with one purchase, two exchanges, and two sales attributed variously to Pfluger and his spouse. SiriusXM appears four times, including two September 2024 exchange entries, one attributed to Pfluger and one to his spouse, and a January 2026 sale attributed to a dependent child. Stellantis appears four times, all within 2021, consisting of two sales and two exchanges, with one of each transaction type attributed to Pfluger and one to his spouse. The Liberty Media complex also recurs: Liberty Live Group shares (LLYVK) and Liberty Formula One shares (FWONK) were exchanged in December 2025 under dependent-child attribution, and an earlier security, Liberty SiriusXM (LSXMK), was purchased by Pfluger and his spouse in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Financials make up the next-largest classified sector by transaction count, with six trades spread across Fidelity National Financial, Intercontinental Exchange, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, most of them concentrated in the March 2021 filing that also included Stellantis activity. A further six transactions carry no sector classification in the record, including two purchases of Sprott Focus Trust, a closed-end fund, by Pfluger and his spouse in 2021.

Attribution codes add another layer to the activity. Nine transactions are coded to a spouse and three to a dependent child. The later dependent-child entries include the SiriusXM sale dated January 13, 2026, and both Liberty Media exchanges dated December 16, 2025. Spouse-attributed activity appears earlier in the record across securities including Warner Bros. Discovery, Stellantis, Liberty SiriusXM, Intercontinental Exchange, Sprott Focus Trust, and Bank of America.
