James A. Himes Trading Profile | Quantellect James A. Himes Trading Profile

James A. Himes’s disclosure record contains seven reported transactions since 2012, and six of the seven are sales, with three sell orders landing on a single day in July 2026. The Connecticut Democrat’s disclosure history is thin by volume but consistent in direction: when the Himes household trades, it has almost always been to sell rather than buy.

All seven transactions in the disclosure record are attributed jointly, meaning they reflect jointly attributed activity rather than trades attributed to Himes alone. Under House disclosure rules, a joint attribution can include assets held with a spouse, and the filings do not indicate that any single transaction was Himes’s individual decision. That matters for how this record should be read: it is a household-level disclosure pattern, not a personal trading diary.

A concentrated day of selling in 2026

On July 20, 2026, the household disclosed three sales in a single filing: Bank of America Corp (BAC), Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM), and The Home Depot Inc (HD). The Bank of America sale was in the $1,001 to $15,000 range, while the Exxon Mobil and Home Depot sales were both in the $15,001 to $50,000 range. All three were disclosed the same day they were transacted, a fast turnaround by the standards of this filer’s own history, where past disclosures have lagged the underlying trade by weeks or, in one case, more than two years.

That single day accounts for three of the household’s seven disclosed transactions on record and three of the six sales. Before 2026, the pattern was one isolated transaction every few years: a sale of Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO) in November 2016, a sale of Intel Corporation (INTC) in August 2017, and a purchase of a private equity fund vehicle in February 2023. The earliest transaction on record, a sale tied to Oha Investment Corp in August 2012, was not disclosed until January 2015, a gap of roughly two and a half years between trade and filing.

The lone purchase in the record is not a single stock at all. In February 2023, the household bought into the Fidelity 2022 Private Equity Multi Strategy vehicle in the $50,001 to $100,000 range, the largest transaction size disclosed across the seven transactions. That distinguishes it from the household’s public-equity activity, which across BAC, XOM, HD, CSCO, and INTC has consisted entirely of sales.

What the companies do

The three names sold in July 2026 span distinct parts of the economy. Bank of America is a diversified financial institution operating consumer banking, wealth management, global banking, and global markets segments, serving individual depositors alongside institutional and corporate clients. Exxon Mobil, which the disclosure record lists under its post-name-change identity as ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation as of July 2026, explores for and produces crude oil and natural gas and also manufactures fuels, chemicals, and specialty products including lubricants and lower-emission ventures such as carbon capture and hydrogen. Home Depot is a home improvement retailer serving both individual homeowners and professional contractors through its stores and a network of specialty distribution businesses.

The two technology names sold earlier in the record, Cisco Systems and Intel, also represent different corners of that sector. Cisco builds networking, security, and collaboration infrastructure, including data center switching and its Webex platform. Intel designs and manufactures computing hardware, including client and server processors and semiconductor foundry services, spanning what the disclosure record organizes as its CCG, DCAI, and Intel Foundry segments.

By sector, the record’s five identifiable transactions split across Information Technology (CSCO and INTC, two transactions), Financials (BAC), Consumer Discretionary (HD), and Energy (XOM), each of the latter three appearing once. The Oha Investment Corp and Fidelity private equity fund transactions carry no sector classification in the disclosure data.

Reading the pattern

Taken as a whole, the record shows a household that discloses infrequently, generally sells rather than buys individual equities, and made its one identifiable purchase through a private equity fund vehicle rather than a single company stock. The concentration of three sales into one July 2026 filing, spanning a bank, an energy major, and a retailer, is the most active this disclosure history has been in a single day. Whether that reflects a broader rebalancing or three separate decisions bundled into one filing window is not something the disclosure data specifies.

Himes represents Connecticut’s 4th District. His current House term runs from January 3, 2025, through January 3, 2027. No Quantellect trading score is published for Himes as of August 21, 2026; 73 of the 537 sitting members of Congress have a published score as of that date, and 276 members, including 237 in the House, have no disclosed trades on record at all, for context on how active the Himes household’s seven transactions are relative to the broader population.

Disclosure basis

This profile is based solely on official Periodic Transaction Reports covering the 2012 sale, 2016 sale, 2017 sale, 2023 purchase, and 2026 sales. These reports are filed under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012, as required by the House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure instructions. All transactions listed here are attributed jointly under the filer’s disclosure and may reflect assets held with a spouse rather than an individual trading decision by the member of Congress. Amounts reflect the disclosed reporting ranges, not exact dollar figures. The records identify reportable transaction activity and attribution, but they do not establish who directed a joint transaction or why it occurred.
