Kevin Hern Stock Trades

Kevin Hern's household has now disclosed 907 stock and securities transactions since December 2018, but the composition of that trading has shifted markedly. Where 2019 through 2022 was dominated by purchases, the most recent completed year and the current partial year have tilted the other way. In 2025, the household reported 6 purchases against 19 sales. Through August 21, 2026, that pattern deepened further: 8 purchases versus 27 sales and 8 other transactions, out of 43 total for the year so far. The most recent filing, covering an August 5, 2026 transaction date and disclosed August 12, 2026, listed two sales, each in the $1,001 to $15,000 range, in Organon and Versant Media. A separate disclosure dated August 10 listed seven sales for the same transaction date and range, spanning Organon, Versant Media, Kenvue, Mondelez, Diageo, Estee Lauder and Comcast.

That sale-heavy tilt stands in contrast to the longer history. Annual activity peaked at 207 transactions in 2021 (199 purchases, 6 sales) and stayed elevated through 2022 (126 transactions, 103 purchases) and 2023 (160 transactions, 103 purchases). Volume then fell to 73 transactions in 2024 and 25 in 2025; the partial 2026 count has already reached 43. Across the full 2018 to 2026 window, purchases still outnumber sales overall, 708 to 167, with 32 classified as other. But the recent-year data shows the mix reversing while each annual total since 2021 remains below that peak.

Attribution behind the trades

Almost none of this activity is attributed to Hern personally. Of the 907 disclosed transactions, 861 carry the "Joint" attribution code, 28 are coded to a dependent child, and only 18 are coded "Self." No transactions in the record are coded to a spouse. The 18 self-attributed transactions include a set of energy-sector exchanges in Coterra Energy and Devon Energy on May 8, 2026, and a $1,000,001 to $5,000,000 sale of a Morgan Stanley zero-coupon medium-term note on May 6, 2026, along with several 2025 sales in CSX, Seagate Technology and Eaton. The dependent-child attribution appears on a March 24, 2026 sale of Exact Sciences shares. The overwhelming weight of joint attribution means that the bulk of this trading record consists of jointly attributed transactions rather than transactions attributed to Hern alone.

A recurring feature of the jointly attributed activity is trading in fixed income and structured notes, often in far larger dollar bands than the equity trades. Recent examples include a $1,000,001 to $5,000,000 purchase of an RBC 11.25% note due 2030 (disclosed November 2025), a $1,000,001 to $5,000,000 sale of a BNP Paribas medium-term note (disclosed November 2025), a $250,001 to $500,000 sale of a Goldman Sachs medium-term note (disclosed May 2026), and a $500,001 to $1,000,000 sale of a Morgan Stanley zero-coupon note (disclosed April 2025). In July 2026, jointly attributed activity also included purchases of a cluster of Oklahoma municipal bonds, including issues from Caddo County, Tulsa County's independent school district, the Grand River Dam Authority, Kingfisher County, the city of Lawton, Oklahoma County and Edmond, in amounts ranging from $15,001 up to $250,001. Hern represents Oklahoma's 1st District, and this concentration of in-state municipal paper is a distinct pattern within the broader disclosure history.

Most frequently disclosed securities and sector mix

Ranked by number of disclosed transaction rows since 2018, the names that recur most often in Hern's filings are Home Depot (30 transactions, most recently October 2025), Devon Energy (29, most recently May 2026), Texas Instruments (27, most recently March 2026), Accenture (26, most recently March 2026), ONEOK (24), PXD (24), Exxon Mobil (24, most recently July 2026), Microsoft (21), MMP (19) and Williams Companies (19). Other names with double-digit disclosure counts include NextEra Energy, Johnson & Johnson, Rockwell Automation, JPMorgan Chase, Emerson Electric, Lockheed Martin, RTX, UnitedHealth Group and Intel.

By sector, the full breakdown of disclosed transactions is: Unknown, 304; Energy, 111; Information Technology, 107; Health Care, 100; Industrials, 93; Consumer Discretionary, 64; Financials, 54; Consumer Staples, 30; Utilities, 18; Materials, 17; Communication Services, 5; and Real Estate, 4. The large Unknown share is consistent with the volume of fixed income, municipal bond and structured note transactions visible in the individual filings, instruments that are not sector-classified equities. Among the classified activity, Energy and Information Technology lead, reflecting the frequency of names like Devon Energy, Coterra Energy, ONEOK, Williams Companies and Exxon Mobil on the energy side, and Texas Instruments, Accenture, Microsoft and Cognizant Technology Solutions on the technology side. Health Care and Industrials follow closely, with health care names including Medtronic, IQVIA, ICON and Exact Sciences alongside industrial names including Rockwell Automation, Emerson Electric, Lockheed Martin and RTX.

A group of March 2026 trades disclosed on April 3 included sales in Texas Instruments and SmartStop Self Storage REIT each in the $500,001 to $1,000,000 band, an Accenture sale in the $250,001 to $500,000 band, and additional sales across Prologis, T. Rowe Price, Becton Dickinson, Comcast, Invesco, Cognizant, Kenvue, IQVIA, Medtronic and ICON, in disclosed bands ranging from $15,001 to $250,000. A UnitedHealth Group sale of $250,001 to $500,000 was disclosed in January 2026 for a trade dated December 23, 2025.

Kevin Hern's household disclosure record shows household activity, not a personal trading book: joint attribution covers 861 of the 907 reported transactions, with recent self-attributed activity including energy exchanges and a large note sale. The record also shows lower total activity since the 2021 peak, a swing from purchase-heavy to sale-heavy activity in 2025 and the partial 2026 period, sizable fixed income and structured note transactions that carry larger disclosed bands than the equity examples, and a distinct thread of Oklahoma municipal bond purchases. As of August 21, 2026, Hern's Quantellect Score stands at 12, placing him in the "weak" tier with "thin" coverage, ranked 68th in a 76-member scored cohort.

About this data

This profile is based on transactions disclosed under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012, which requires members of Congress to periodically report securities transactions made by themselves, spouses and dependent children. Reporting follows the House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure instruction guide, and amounts are reported in ranges rather than exact figures. Individual filings referenced above include disclosures from August 2026, August 2026, June 2026 and April 2026. Transaction dates and disclosure dates are tracked separately. Attribution codes reported by the filer (Self, Joint, Dependent Child) are reproduced as disclosed and are not independently verified beyond what appears in the filing.
