John Cornyn Stock Trades

Senator John Cornyn's entire disclosed trading record, as filed with the Senate, consists of exactly two transactions, both involving the same company. The Texas Republican disclosed a purchase of Apple Inc. securities on August 21, 2015, in a range of $15,001 to $50,000, documented in the official purchase filing. He later disclosed a “Sale (Full)” transaction involving Apple on February 1, 2017, in the same dollar range, documented in the official sale filing. Both transactions carry the attribution “Self,” identifying them as Cornyn’s transactions rather than those of a spouse, joint filer, or dependent child. There is no other disclosed trading activity in the record.

That level of activity places Cornyn in an unusual middle ground. As measured on August 22, 2026, 276 of the 537 sitting members of Congress had zero disclosed trades on record, including 39 of the 100 sitting senators. Cornyn is not among that group, but his footprint is about as narrow as a non-zero record can be: one security, one sector, one purchase, and one later full-sale disclosure.

Two Apple Transactions: A Purchase and a Full Sale

The purchase has an August 21, 2015 transaction date and a September 21, 2015 disclosure date. The sale has a February 1, 2017 transaction date and a February 24, 2017 disclosure date. The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 established a prompt-reporting requirement under which covered transactions must be reported no later than 30 days after the filer receives notification and, in all cases, no later than 45 days after the transaction. The Senate Select Committee on Ethics provides financial disclosure guidance for Senate filers. The supplied transaction and disclosure dates are presented separately here so that the filing dates are not mistaken for the dates of the transactions themselves.

The transaction type recorded for the 2017 disclosure is “Sale (Full).” That is the classification supplied for the transaction; it does not, by itself, establish that the securities sold were the same units acquired in 2015. With only two transaction rows, the record does not support characterizing the activity as a recurring pattern, a strategy, or a shift over time. It shows one Apple purchase followed in a later year by one Apple transaction classified as a full sale.

Sector and Company

Both transactions fall under Information Technology, specifically the Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals industry, and both involve Apple Inc., the most frequently disclosed security in Cornyn's record by transaction-row count. Apple designs, manufactures, and markets smartphones, personal computers, tablets, wearables, and accessories, including iPhone, Mac, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. It operates the App Store and offers services including Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+, Apple Card, Apple Pay, AppleCare support, cloud services, and advertising services. It also licenses intellectual property and sells through its retail and online stores, direct sales force, cellular carriers, and other resellers. The company serves consumers, small and midsized businesses, and the education, enterprise, and government markets. Apple was founded in 1976 and is headquartered in Cupertino, California.

Because the record contains only one sector and one issuer, it offers no basis for identifying a broader thematic tilt toward technology generally or any other industry. A two-transaction, single-security record is not sufficient to infer a recurring investment approach, sector conviction, or the reasons behind either transaction. The supported description is narrower: Apple accounts for both disclosed transactions and all disclosed sector activity in Cornyn’s record.

Cornyn does not have a published Quantellect Score in the supplied data. No score row exists for him as of the latest published scoring date, August 21, 2026. On that date, 76 members of Congress had a published score, including 73 members who were currently sitting. The data provides no additional reason for the absence of a score and does not attribute it to the number or nature of Cornyn’s transactions.

Disclosure and Data Notes

This profile reflects transaction-level financial disclosures filed by or on behalf of Senator Cornyn under the STOCK Act and Senate financial disclosure rules. Both transactions in this record are attributed to the senator under the “Self” designation used in the underlying data. Amounts are presented as disclosed ranges, not exact dollar figures. The profile is limited to the two transaction disclosures in the supplied record. The official Senate filings for the 2015 purchase and 2017 sale are available for independent verification.
