David Kustoff Trading Profile | Quantellect David Kustoff Trading Profile by Quantellect

David Kustoff has 54 disclosed transactions dating back to 2014, and the pattern that stands out most is how quiet his trading has become. His most active year on record is 2018, with 13 disclosed transactions, and annual activity has remained below that peak since, ending at three transactions in 2023, the most recent year in the dataset. That final year added two security labels that do not appear anywhere else in his history: a security listed as "VSR Comps," ticker GX, and a sale labeled "Clear Source" under ticker NO, alongside another sale of Clear Secure, which first appears in November 2022.

Across the full 54-transaction record, sales outnumber purchases by a wide margin, 32 to 20, with two additional transactions logged as other activity, including a pair of exchanges. Of the 54 transactions, 47 are attributed to Kustoff himself, three to a spouse, three are joint, and one carries an unknown attribution that cannot be assigned to him personally. That means the vast majority of the record reflects transactions made in his own name, though the spousal and joint entries span AT&T, Warner Bros. Discovery, Exxon Mobil, Starbucks, Feder Corp, and BancTennessee, a reminder that not every line in a congressional disclosure is a personal decision by the member.

A technology and consumer-discretionary tilt

Sector activity data shows Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary as the two clearest throughlines in Kustoff's trading, with 13 and 10 disclosed transactions respectively. A large share of the record, 26 transactions, falls into an unclassified "Unknown" sector, largely because many older disclosures list only a security name with no ticker or company match, names like "Feder Corp," "Alpharset," "Valuis," and "Wallis S. Garden" among them. That gap limits how precisely his historical activity can be sector-mapped, but the identifiable trades lean toward large, familiar technology and consumer names.

Apple and Starbucks are tied as his most frequently disclosed securities, each appearing in four transactions. Apple's activity consists of two purchases and two sales, all dated between 2015 and 2017, with the most recent Apple transaction dated January 2017. Starbucks follows a different pattern: all four transactions are sales, running from December 2014 through November 2021, with no purchases recorded in the dataset. Amazon shows the opposite shape, three transactions, all purchases, spanning December 2014 through November 2018. Microsoft appears three times with two purchases and one sale between 2014 and 2022.

More recent transaction history includes semiconductor and chip-adjacent names. Kustoff purchased AMD in November 2021 and sold AMD in February 2022, the same day he also purchased Microsoft. He sold Nvidia in November 2022 and sold Clear Secure twice, in November 2022 and January 2023. The January 2023 Clear Secure sale is the most recent identifiable-company transaction in the record. Together, the two Clear Secure sales involve a company that runs the CLEAR identity and airport-security platform under an evolving set of consumer travel and enterprise identity products.

Notable recent transactions

The latest disclosed activity, dated March 2, 2023, includes a sale under the security name "Clear Source" (ticker NO) and a same-day purchase labeled "VSR Comps" (ticker GX). Neither carries a company name, sector, or industry classification in the disclosure data, so their business nature cannot be described from this record. Both are attributed to Kustoff himself, with the sale disclosed under an amount range of $1,501 to $50,000, matching the purchase's disclosed range.

The two exchange-type transactions from April 2022, involving AT&T and Warner Bros. Discovery, were both attributed as joint and listed at an identical amount of $4,450.50. The data classifies both as exchanges rather than purchases or sales, so they make up the record's two transactions logged as other activity. AT&T is a global telecommunications carrier, and Warner Bros. Discovery is a media and entertainment company operating film, television, and streaming businesses under brands including HBO, CNN, and Discovery Channel.

Taken together, the record shows a member whose disclosed trading has thinned out considerably since a comparatively active 2017 to 2018 stretch, with 2023 activity consisting of two thinly documented securities and another Clear Secure sale following the first disclosed sale in November 2022.
