James Comer Stock Trades

Kentucky Republican James Comer's disclosure record shows a 2025 trading pattern with a distinct signature: a concentrated burst of activity that opened the year with a wide purchase list, followed months later by a wave of partial sales in many of the same names. Of the 92 disclosed transactions tied to Comer's filings since 2015, 40 fall in 2025 alone, more than any other year in the record by a wide margin. The next-highest annual total is 19, recorded in 2017.

The clearest example of the pattern sits at the start of 2025. On January 2, 2025, filings show 27 purchases spanning 22 securities, including Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Broadcom, Arista Networks, Amazon, Home Depot, Costco, Salesforce, PayPal, BlackRock, SoFi Technologies, AT&T, Alphabet, Netflix, VeriSign, Palo Alto Networks, Amphenol, Uber, Dover, and Churchill Downs, all attributed to Comer himself and disclosed on January 10, 2025 (disclosure filing). Later that month, on January 21, 2025, Palantir Technologies and Marvell Technology were added by purchase. A single Trade Desk sale followed on February 4, 2025 (disclosure filing).

Then, on July 3, 2025, a second same-day cluster appears, this time on the sell side. Marvell, Churchill Downs, Dover, Broadcom, Home Depot, Salesforce, AT&T, VeriSign, Arista Networks, and PayPal were each reported as partial sales, disclosed on August 11, 2025 (disclosure filing). Nine of those ten tickers were also part of the January 2 purchase batch. That overlap, buying a broad basket of large-cap names at the start of the year and reporting partial sales in much of the same basket mid-year, is the most structurally distinctive feature of the record; all ten July transactions are labeled as partial sales.

Frequency, Sector Concentration, and a Choppy History

Looked at across the full disclosure history, Apple is the most frequently disclosed name, appearing in five separate transactions, all purchases, the most recent dated January 2, 2025. Home Depot, Southwest Airlines, and Medtronic each appear three times, though Medtronic's activity is entirely purchases from 2017 and 2018 with no transaction disclosed since. A long list of names, including Amazon, Arista, Broadcom, Bank of America, BlackRock, Churchill Downs, Costco, Salesforce, Dover, Mednax, Marvell, PayPal, Republic Bancorp, SoFi, AT&T, Trade Desk, and VeriSign, each appear twice.

By sector, Information Technology accounts for 20 of the 92 disclosed transactions, the largest classified category, followed by Financials at 11 and Consumer Discretionary at 8. Communication Services and Industrials each show 6, Health Care 5, Materials 3, and Consumer Staples 2. A substantial share, 31 transactions, carry no sector classification in the record, which limits how completely the sector picture can be described.

Disclosure activity has not been continuous. The record shows 19 transactions in 2017, 9 in 2018, 13 in 2020, and single-digit or single-transaction years in between, including just one transaction dated in 2024. The 2025 total of 40 stands apart from every other year shown, though with data covering non-adjacent years, the record supports describing each year's count rather than asserting a smooth multi-year trend.

Attribution also matters here. Of the 92 transactions, 78 are attributed to Comer personally (SELF), 7 are marked joint (JT), 6 are attributed to a spouse (SP), and 1 to a dependent child (DC). The joint and spousal transactions cluster earlier in the record: a joint AT&T purchase and joint Sypris Solutions sale in early 2018; joint purchases of Nucor and Facebook, a joint Activision Blizzard sale, and a joint Golfo stock purchase and sale in late 2017; plus spousal sales of Bank of America in January 2020 and Republic Bank in December 2017. The 2025 cluster of transactions, by contrast, is attributed entirely to Comer himself.

What the Companies Do

The 2025 purchase activity runs through familiar mega-cap technology and platform businesses. Nvidia designs data-center accelerated computing and AI infrastructure hardware alongside its legacy graphics business. Broadcom supplies semiconductor devices and, through its VMware and mainframe software lines, infrastructure software to enterprise and cloud customers. Palantir builds data-integration and AI platform software used in intelligence work and other organizational settings. Marvell provides data-infrastructure semiconductors used in data-center networking and storage. Arista Networks makes cloud and AI networking switches and software for data centers and campus environments. VeriSign operates core domain-name registry infrastructure, including authoritative resolution for .com and .net. Home Depot is a home-improvement retailer serving both individual consumers and professional contractors. The Trade Desk, sold in early February 2025 after being purchased weeks prior, is a digital advertising technology platform spanning connected TV, display, audio, and other formats.

Score Context

As of August 21, 2026, Comer's Quantellect Score stood at 59, placing him in the "solid" tier and ranking 32nd in a 76-member scored cohort. Scores were available for 76 members overall, including 73 sitting members, a minority of Congress. As of August 22, 2026, 276 of the 537 sitting members of Congress, including 237 of 437 House members, had no disclosed trades on record at all. Comer's 92 disclosed transactions since 2015, with the sharp concentration in 2025, place him among the more active disclosers relative to a chamber where most members report nothing.

Disclosure Notes

This profile is built from data reported under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, which requires members of Congress to publicly disclose securities transactions above certain thresholds within a set filing window (STOCK Act text). Disclosed amounts are reported in ranges rather than exact dollar figures, and the transaction date on a filing can precede its public disclosure date by weeks. Filings may reflect transactions made by the member, a spouse, a dependent child, or a jointly held account, and this profile identifies attribution where the underlying filing specifies it.
