Jim Banks Stock Trades

Since taking his Senate seat in January 2025, Jim Banks has slowed his disclosed trading to a trickle after a period of intense activity earlier in his congressional career. The Indiana Republican's financial disclosures show 60 transactions dating back to 2017, but 52 of them, 28 purchases and 24 sales combined across 2020 and 2021, cluster in a two-year stretch. Everything since has been comparatively quiet: one transaction in 2023, one in 2024, three in 2025, and two so far in 2026.

That earlier concentration was not random. The same handful of consumer-facing names, Roblox, Kroger, Starbucks, Ford and Peloton, recur again and again through the 2020-2021 filings, often in tight clusters of same-day or same-week buys and sells. Several of those same tickers then resurface years later in isolated 2023-2026 disclosures, with the disclosed activity, whether self-attributed or joint, returning to a familiar shortlist of companies rather than rotating into new sectors.

Trading Activity and Attribution

Of the 60 disclosed transactions, 42 are attributed directly to Banks and 18 are marked as joint. None are attributed to a spouse-only, dependent child, or unknown category. The split runs close to even between direction, 32 purchases against 28 sales, and there is no meaningful gap between how often self-attributed and joint transactions land on either side of that ledger.

By sector, Consumer Discretionary names account for 24 of the 60 transactions, driven by Starbucks, Peloton, Ford, Yum! Brands and a single 2017 Amazon purchase. Communication Services, entirely Roblox, accounts for 14. Consumer Staples, entirely Kroger, accounts for 12. The remaining 10 are tied to securities the disclosure data does not classify by sector, most of them tied to Patient Access Solutions Inc.

The busiest single disclosure date was October 6, 2020, when 13 September transactions involving Kroger, Ford and Patient Access Solutions, all self-attributed, were reported together. Another cluster was disclosed on December 13, 2021, covering seven November Roblox and Peloton transactions split between self and joint attribution. Two of the Peloton purchases in that filing are explicitly recorded under a Schwab IRA, placing at least part of that activity inside a retirement account.

Recurring Names and Recent Disclosures

Roblox Corporation, the immersive online platform founded in 2004 and based in San Mateo, California, is the single most frequently disclosed security in the record, with 14 transactions running from June 2021 through November 2021. Kroger, the Cincinnati-based grocery and pharmacy retailer founded in 1883, follows with 12 transactions concentrated in the same 2020-2021 window. Starbucks, the Seattle coffee roaster and retailer founded in 1971, has 10 disclosed transactions, including a full sale disclosed on April 20, 2026, tied to an April 15, 2026 transaction date and attributed to Banks himself.

Peloton Interactive, the connected fitness company founded in 2012 and based in New York, shows five disclosed transactions spanning November 2021, June 2023 and June 2026, the most recent being a self-attributed full sale disclosed on June 7, 2026. Ford Motor Company, the Dearborn, Michigan automaker, has six disclosed transactions confined to 2020 and 2021. Yum! Brands, the Louisville, Kentucky parent of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, has two later transactions: a joint purchase in August 2024 and a joint full sale of the same stock in February 2025.

Two 2025 filings are recorded with incomplete security identification in the disclosure data itself: a purchase on August 4, 2025 listed only as "starbuck" and a joint full sale on June 16, 2025 listed only as "RBLX," neither carrying a ticker, formal company name or sector classification in the underlying filing record. Patient Access Solutions Inc, a company for which no business description is available in this data, accounts for eight transactions, all self-attributed and all falling in the second half of 2020. A single Amazon.com purchase, disclosed in July 2017, is the earliest transaction on record and predates the rest of the activity by nearly three years.

No published score currently exists for Banks under the latest scoring cycle. As of the most recent update, 76 members carry a published score, including 73 of the 537 sitting members of Congress, meaning the majority of Congress, including Banks, falls outside that coverage at this time.

About this profile

This profile is built from disclosures filed under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 and related Senate financial disclosure guidance. Disclosures reflect periodic transaction reports and may include activity from joint accounts; the underlying filings do not always specify whether a joint transaction originates with the member or another party to the account. Amounts are reported in ranges, not exact figures, as required by law. Figures shown reflect Quantellect's transaction-level database as of the most recent update and may not capture every amendment or correction filed after original disclosure. Selected source filings are linked here, including the earliest available disclosure and the December 2021 filing covering the November transactions referenced above.
