Gary C. Peters Stock Trades

Gary C. Peters Congressional Trading Profile | Quantellect Gary C. Peters Congressional Trading Profile

Gary C. Peters has filed 211 disclosed transactions dating back to December 2013, and the shape of that record has shifted more than once. Purchases outnumber sales by a wide margin, 169 to 29, with 13 additional transactions logged as exchanges or other activity. But look at the year-by-year breakdown and a more specific story appears: 2024 was the one calendar year in the disclosed history that produced no purchases at all, only nine sales. That stands out against a pattern, running from 2013 through 2023, that leaned heavily toward buying.

The Michigan Democrat's Quantellect Score sits at 49, placing him in the "mixed" tier with a coverage state the system flags as "limited." Among the 76 sitting and former members of Congress currently carrying a score, he ranks 40th of 76 as of August 21, 2026. For context, 276 of the 537 sitting members of Congress, including 39 of 100 sitting senators, have no disclosed trades on record at all.

A Bond-Heavy Record That Has Given Way to Equity Purchases

The supplied transaction detail for late 2018 and 2019 is dominated by fixed-income paper: municipal general obligation bonds from school districts and municipalities in states including Texas, Illinois and California, alongside corporate notes from issuers such as Verizon, Nucor, NextEra Energy Capital, Simon Property Group, Georgia Power and Anheuser-Busch InBev. Many of these entries carry no ticker, company name or sector classification in the disclosure data, which is consistent with their nature as debt instruments rather than listed equities. That pattern helps explain why "Unknown" is the single largest sector category in the disclosed transaction history, with 134 of 211 total transactions, well ahead of Financials and Real Estate, which are tied at 12 each.

Transaction volume was highest in 2018 (29 transactions), followed by 2016 and 2014 (27 each), and 2019 and 2015 (25 each), then dropped off considerably starting in 2020. Recent years show a smaller, more concentrated pace: 12 transactions in 2023, 12 in 2021, 9 in 2024, 8 so far in 2026 (through July 23), and just 4 in 2025. Where the transactions are attributable, they are overwhelmingly Peters' own: 189 of 211 carry a "Self" attribution code. Three are attributed to a spouse, four are joint, and 15 carry an "Unknown" attribution code inherited from the underlying disclosure source, meaning they cannot be described as personal trading decisions.

Recent Purchases Lean Into Real Estate, Telecom and Staples; 2024 Was a Liquidation Year

The most recent disclosed purchases, filed through August 2026, cluster in real estate investment trusts and consumer-facing names. On July 23, 2026, Peters purchased shares of Realty Income Corporation (O), a $1,001-$15,000 transaction and his third disclosed purchase of that name; Realty Income is a net-lease REIT that owns more than 15,500 properties across the U.S. and Europe and markets itself as "The Monthly Dividend Company." That purchase followed an AT&T (T) purchase on June 29, 2026, also in the $1,001-$15,000 range, and a Kraft Heinz purchase on May 21. In January 2026 he added to W. P. Carey (WPC), a diversified net-lease REIT, for the third time on record, alongside a purchase of Stanley Black & Decker.

On April 23, 2026, the record shows a full sale by Peters of Corteva (CTVA), the agricultural seed and crop-protection company, in the $15,001-$50,000 range. The transaction was disclosed on May 11, 2026 in the same filing as new purchases tied to J.M. Smucker and PepsiCo. One January 7, 2026 filing covering December 12, 2025 transactions is worth flagging for attribution purposes: a Verizon purchase was disclosed as Peters' own, but a full sale of Intel Corporation was attributed to a spouse, not to Peters personally.

2024 reads differently from any other year in the record. Every one of its nine transactions was a full sale, spanning Leggett & Platt, Lamb Weston, Invesco, Carrier Global, Otis Worldwide, Carnival, Solventum, International Flavors & Fragrances and Schlumberger. The Invesco sale and the Leggett & Platt and Lamb Weston sales carry a "Self" attribution, while the Carnival, Solventum, IFF and Schlumberger sales, all dated May 14, 2024, are marked with an "Unknown" attribution code from the disclosure source and should not be read as personal decisions.

Across the disclosed transactions, the sector mix beyond the large "Unknown" category is spread across Financials, Real Estate, Materials, Health Care, Industrials, Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Utilities, Information Technology and Energy, ordered here from most to least transactions. Real estate shows up repeatedly and specifically in dividend-oriented net-lease and industrial REITs, Realty Income, W. P. Carey, Simon Property Group and STAG Industrial, each disclosed multiple times over the years, a pattern that persists from 2021 activity through the most recent 2026 filings.

Disclosure and Methodology Notes

This profile is based on transaction disclosures filed under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012, which requires members of Congress to periodically report securities transactions above certain thresholds. Additional guidance on the disclosure process is available from the Senate Select Committee on Ethics. Reported amounts reflect disclosed dollar ranges, not exact transaction values. A transaction disclosed under a member's name may reflect activity by the member, a spouse, a dependent child, or a joint account, and this profile distinguishes those where the disclosure specifies an attribution; transactions marked "Unknown" in the source data are not attributed to any individual. This page reflects transaction-level disclosures only; it does not reflect current holdings, and it does not state or imply how any security has performed following a disclosed transaction.
