Brian Babin Stock Trades

Brian Babin Trading Profile | Quantellect Brian Babin Trading Profile

Brian Babin's most recent transaction disclosure is not a single trade but a clean sweep. The Texas Republican disclosed twelve separate sales made on May 5, 2026, spanning defense, energy, mining, and infrastructure names from Huntington Ingalls Industries to Wheaton Precious Metals. Every one of those transactions is coded "Self" in the database, meaning the filing attributes them to Babin rather than a spouse, dependent, or joint account. The all-sale batch stands in sharp contrast to the purchase-heavy activity recorded in his earlier years in office.

The database shows 31 total transactions tied to Babin's disclosures since 2015: 17 purchases and 14 sales. Activity clusters in a handful of distinct windows. Of the 13 transactions in 2016, 12 were purchases and one was a sale; ten carried the "Joint" attribution code, while three were marked "Self." Across the full record, 11 of the 31 transactions are marked "Joint," versus 19 marked "Self" and one marked "Spouse." A smaller batch of four purchases followed in 2022. Then, after a multi-year gap in the record, the twelve May 2026 sales appear as the most recent entries, all self-attributed and filed on May 18, 2026, after the May 5 transaction date.

From Joint-Attributed Purchases to a Self-Attributed Sale Batch

The 2016 purchases look markedly different from what came later. That June and July, joint-attributed transactions included securities described in the filing as ATDIX (Alpine Income), MANLX (BlackRock), a Vanguard-linked mid-cap fund, a Western Asset municipal high income fund, an American Century adjusted treasury fund, a Legg fund and Voyager trust series, the Growth Fund of America, and a Hendecas-linked American Funds product, alongside a SEP-IRA transaction tied to Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure. The same joint-account disclosure lists a purchase of “TX OLT MUNI (DASH),” while a separate self-attributed filing records a June 28 purchase of Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure under ticker FTAI. Separately, under the "Self" code, Babin bought and then sold Orbital ATK in April 2016. In February 2015, a spouse-attributed purchase and a self-attributed sale form the earliest activity in the record.

By 2022, the pattern had narrowed. All four transactions that year were purchases: the June 27 BHP transaction was joint-attributed, while the other BHP purchase, the Woodside Energy purchase, and the FTAI Infrastructure purchase were marked "Self." BHP and Woodside are classified as Materials and Energy, respectively, while FTAI Infrastructure is classified as Industrials. BHP, WDS, and FIP, along with FTAI itself, are among the most frequently disclosed securities across Babin's transaction history, each appearing in two transaction rows.

The May 2026 Disclosure by Sector

The twelve sales made on May 5, 2026 span Energy, Industrials, Materials, and Financials in the database, while South32 and Westshore Terminals lack a sector classification. The Energy names are Range Resources, Energy Transfer, Enbridge, and Woodside Energy. Industrials includes Huntington Ingalls Industries, FTAI Aviation, and FTAI Infrastructure. IAMGold and Wheaton Precious Metals are classified as Materials, while Compass Diversified Holdings represents Financials. No Consumer Discretionary entry appears in this batch. FTAI Infrastructure and Woodside Energy repeat tickers from self-attributed 2022 purchases. FTAI also appeared in 2016 through a self-attributed purchase and a separate joint-attributed SEP-IRA transaction; the disclosure record alone does not establish that the 2026 sale involved the same securities acquired in those earlier transactions.

Across the full 31-transaction history, Energy and Industrials each account for five disclosed transactions, followed by Materials with four. Fifteen of the 31 transactions, including many of the 2016 fund purchases and older individual-stock transactions such as Orbital ATK, carry no sector classification in the data.

FTAI Aviation represents the largest individual sale by disclosed dollar range, with a partial sale reported at $50,001 to $100,000. Huntington Ingalls Industries and Wheaton Precious Metals each had partial sales reported at $15,001 to $50,000. Huntington Ingalls designs, builds, overhauls, and repairs military ships, including nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines. Energy Transfer operates natural-gas, NGL, crude-oil, and refined-products infrastructure, while Enbridge operates liquids pipelines, gas transmission, gas distribution and storage, and renewable-power businesses. Range Resources produces natural gas, NGLs, and oil in the Appalachian region. FTAI Aviation leases and services commercial aircraft and engines, while FTAI Infrastructure operates transportation, energy, and industrial infrastructure, including railroads, ports, terminals, and power and gas businesses. Wheaton Precious Metals is a precious-metal streaming company, while IAMGold is a gold producer and developer operating in Canada and Burkina Faso.

Disclosure and Attribution Notes

This Quantellect profile is built from transactions disclosed under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act, which requires members of Congress to report covered securities transactions within the applicable reporting period and no later than 45 days after the transaction. Reported amounts reflect disclosure ranges, not exact transaction values, and transaction dates can precede public filing dates. Attribution codes in the underlying data distinguish transactions recorded as "Self" from those attributed to a spouse or joint account; this profile follows those codes and does not assume personal decision-making for joint- or spouse-attributed transactions. See the official filings for the May 2026 disclosure, the 2022 purchase disclosures, the 2016 joint-account disclosure, the STOCK Act, and the House Ethics Committee disclosure guide governing these filings.
