Mark Alford Stock Trades

Mark Alford Congressional Trading Profile | Quantellect Mark Alford Congressional Trading Profile

Every disclosed transaction in Quantellect's database for Missouri Republican Mark Alford happened on a single day, and every one of them was a sale.

The record in our transaction database is unusually clean, and unusually concentrated. Nine transactions. All dated 16 March 2026. All disclosed together on 31 March 2026, in one filing with the Clerk of the House. Zero purchases. Nine sales, each labeled "Sale (Partial)" and each falling in the $1,001 to $15,000 disclosed range.

That is the whole of the record for the congressman from Missouri's 4th District. It is not a trading pattern in the sense that a frequent filer builds one over years of buys, sells, and rotations. It is a single-day cluster of partial sales, disclosed at once, spanning eight distinct securities.

Attribution is worth pausing on, because it is often where these records get murky. Here it is not. All nine transactions carry the attribution code SELF. None are flagged as spouse, joint, or dependent child, and none fall into the unknown bucket. Whatever the mechanics behind the trades, the filing assigns them to the member rather than to a spouse or a dependent.

What was sold, and what those companies do

The eight securities that appear across the nine rows split into two groups: three fund vehicles on one side, five individual company securities on the other.

The SPDR S&P 500 Buyback ETF, ticker SPYB, is the only security to appear more than once. Two of the nine transaction rows are SPYB sales, both dated 16 March 2026, each in the same $1,001 to $15,000 band. That makes it the most frequently disclosed security in the file, though the ranking here is a count of transaction rows, not a measure of size or conviction.

Alongside it sit two other fund vehicles. The State Street SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust, disclosed as DIA on NYSEARCA, was sold partially. So was Invesco QQQ. Both are recorded in our data as other-type securities rather than as individual issuers, with no sector classification attached.

Then the single names.

Apple Inc. is classified in our database under Information Technology, in the Technology Hardware, Storage and Peripherals industry. Apple designs, manufactures and markets iPhone, Mac, iPad, and its wearables and accessories line including AirPods, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro and HomePod. Its services layer includes the App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Fitness+, Apple News+, Apple Card and Apple Pay, plus advertising and intellectual property licensing. It sells through its own retail and online stores, its direct sales force, and third-party carriers and resellers.

Amazon.com Inc is classified under Consumer Discretionary, in Broadline Retail, though the classification undersells the structure. Amazon runs three reporting segments: North America, International, and Amazon Web Services. AWS provides compute, storage, database, analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence services. The company also manufactures Kindle, Fire tablets, Fire TV, Echo, Ring, Blink and eero devices, produces media content, runs the Amazon Prime membership program, and provides advertising services through sponsored ads, display and video.

PayPal Holdings Inc sits in Financials, under Financial Services. It runs a two-sided payments network connecting merchants and consumers, letting customers transact and move money using bank accounts, PayPal or Venmo balances, credit and debit products, cryptocurrencies and stored-value instruments including gift cards and rewards. Its brand stable is broader than the flagship name: PayPal Credit, Braintree, Venmo, Xoom, Hyperwallet, Honey and Paidy.

AT&T Inc. is classified under Communication Services, in Diversified Telecommunication Services. It runs two segments, Communications and Latin America. The Communications segment covers wireless voice and data, handset and device sales, AT&T Dedicated Internet, fiber ethernet and broadband, fixed wireless, hosted and managed professional services, plus legacy copper voice and data and VPN products for corporate, small-business, government and wholesale customers. Its consumer broadband and voice business markets under AT&T, AT&T Business, Cricket, AT&T PREPAID, AT&T Fiber and AT&T Internet Air. The Latin America segment sells postpaid and prepaid wireless in Mexico under the AT&T and Unefon names.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. common stock, ticker BRK.B, rounds out the list. Our record carries it as a common stock line without an attached sector or company classification.

Reading the shape of the file

Sector coverage across the nine transactions breaks down as follows, and this is the complete list: Unknown accounts for five transactions, with Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, Financials and Information Technology each accounting for one. The large Unknown bucket reflects the two SPYB rows plus DIA, QQQ and the Berkshire line, all of which carry no issuer-level sector tag in our data.

So the honest description of the sector picture is that it is thin by construction. There is no repeated classified sector across the four tagged transactions. Five of the nine rows lack a sector classification, while the four classified single names are spread across four different sectors, one apiece.

The temporal picture is equally compressed. First transaction date and latest transaction date are the same: 16 March 2026. Our year-by-year history shows one year, 2026, with nine transactions, nine of them sales. With a single period on record, there is no earlier baseline to compare against, and no basis for describing how this member's activity has shifted over a career.

Context helps here. As of 23 August 2026, our population data covers 537 sitting members of Congress, 437 in the House and 100 in the Senate. Of those, 276 have no disclosed trades at all, including 237 House members and 39 senators. Against that backdrop, Alford is among the members with disclosed transaction activity rather than among the 276 with none.

Our published Quantellect Score covers 77 sitting members at the latest score date of 23 August 2026. Alford is not among them. No score row exists for him at that date. That absence should be read narrowly: it means this profile has no published score for Alford, not that the disclosed transactions have been assigned an unpublished result.

The disclosure framework itself explains why files like this one look the way they do. The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 established the periodic transaction reporting regime that produced this filing, and the House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure instruction guide sets out how members categorize amounts and report transaction dates. Amounts are reported in bands rather than exact figures. All nine rows were disclosed in the same $1,001 to $15,000 band, but that does not establish that their exact trade sizes were identical.

The transaction date and disclosure date are distinct under this framework: these trades are dated 16 March 2026, while the filing is dated 31 March 2026. Investors reading congressional disclosures therefore see reported past transactions rather than contemporaneous transaction data.

The underlying document is public. The official financial disclosure filing is the source for every transaction described here.

What an investor should take from this file: a one-day, all-sell event across a mix of funds and blue-chip single names, attributed to the member, with no earlier or later transactions in Quantellect's records as of 23 August 2026. It is a snapshot, not a track record.

Disclosures and methodology

This profile is published by Quantellect (quantellect.ai) and is for informational purposes only. It is not investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any security.

All transaction data is drawn from official periodic transaction reports filed with the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives. Disclosed amounts are reported by filers in ranges rather than exact dollar figures. Transaction dates and disclosure dates are distinct, and the lag between them is a function of the filing regime, not of any judgment about the filer.

This profile covers transaction disclosures only. The list of most frequently disclosed securities is ranked by the number of disclosed transaction rows and is a measure of transaction frequency only.

Quantellect attribution codes may identify a transaction as SELF, spouse, joint, dependent child, or unknown. Where our data supplies an attribution code, this page reports it as filed. All nine transactions described here carry a SELF attribution code.

Sector, industry and company classifications reflect Quantellect's internal reference data at the time of publication. Securities without an attached classification are reported as such rather than inferred. Population figures and score coverage are measured as of 23 August 2026.
