Michael Guest Stock Trades

Michael Guest's disclosure record carries an unmistakable signature: a concentrated run in early August helped make 2023 more active than every other year on the congressman's ledger combined. Of the 106 transactions disclosed under his name since February 2019, 55 were dated in 2023 alone, against a combined 51 across 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Since that surge, the pace has slowed sharply, with only 4 transactions dated in 2024, 4 in 2025, and 6 so far in 2026, several of them sales rather than new purchases.

Attribution matters here. Of the 106 disclosed transactions, 94 are coded SP, meaning they were made by a spouse rather than by Guest personally. Five are attributed to Guest himself (SELF), five to a dependent child (DC), and two are joint (JT). The detailed SELF-attributed rows available here include a same-day cluster of three sales, in Pfizer, Kinder Morgan and Essential Utilities, all dated January 11, 2023 and disclosed together. The overwhelming majority of the activity described below, including the 2023 surge, sits with the spouse.

The purchase-to-sale mix has also shifted over time. Early years lean toward purchases: 2019 (5 purchases, 3 sales), 2020 (7 purchases, 1 sale), 2022 (15 purchases, 2 sales, 2 other), and 2023 itself (48 purchases against 7 sales). The most recent activity inverts that pattern. Of the 6 transactions dated in 2026, none are purchases, 4 are sales and 2 are coded as "other." Of the 4 dated in 2025, 3 are sales and only 1 is a purchase. The household's most recent visible activity, dated July 2, 2026, is two transactions in ExxonMobil (XOM) coded as an "Exchange" rather than a purchase or sale, disclosed on August 14, 2026. The company description in the data notes that Exxon Mobil Corporation changed its name to ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation in July 2026, the same month these transactions occurred.

Frequently disclosed names

AT&T (T) is the most frequently disclosed security in the record, appearing in 5 transactions (3 purchases, 2 sales) through August 2023. Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) follows with 4 transactions, split between 2 sales and 2 classified as "other," and ExxonMobil (XOM) also shows 4 transactions, most recently the July 2026 exchange. All three sit in sectors the data flags repeatedly: AT&T and Warner Bros Discovery in Communication Services, ExxonMobil in Energy.

Behind that trio is a cluster of names disclosed twice each: Airbnb (ABNB), Amazon (AMZN), Chord Energy (CHRD), Chevron (CVX), Dynatrace (DT), e.l.f. Beauty (ELF), Evolution Gaming (EVVTY), Kinder Morgan (KMI), NVIDIA (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA) and Uber (UBER). Several of these names were purchased in 2023 and later appeared in two sale clusters dated December 16, 2025 and January 9, 2026. Airbnb, Chevron, e.l.f. Beauty and Chord Energy had spouse-attributed purchases in August 2023, while Dynatrace and Evolution Gaming were purchased by the spouse that November. Airbnb, Chevron and e.l.f. Beauty were sold on December 16, 2025; Dynatrace, Evolution Gaming and Chord Energy were sold on January 9, 2026, when OTC Markets Group was also sold. Those later sales revisit several names purchased in 2023, though the disclosed dollar ranges do not establish whether the quantities bought and sold matched. Energy names recur across the wider list too, including BP, International Seaways, Uranium Energy, Permian Resources and Valero, alongside a technology-and-software lean that includes Arista Networks, Monolithic Power Systems, monday.com, Microsoft and Oracle, and a consumer-discretionary group spanning McDonald's, Lowe's, Tractor Supply and Ulta Beauty.

Bonds, sector mix and the Quantellect Score

The single largest category in Guest's disclosed activity by transaction count is not a sector at all. The data logs 44 of the 106 transactions under "Unknown" sector, more than Energy's 16 or the 10 apiece in Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology. Nearly all of these carry no ticker or company name, and their security descriptions identify them as Mississippi state and local government bonds, including Mississippi Development Bank special obligation bonds, university revenue bonds, and county general obligation bonds. A disclosed amount range of $100,001 to $250,000 attaches to one of these transactions, a spouse-attributed Mississippi Development Bank bond purchase dated December 21, 2022. The remaining sectors, in order of disclosed transaction count, are Communication Services (9), Health Care (5), and Consumer Staples, Financials, Industrials and Utilities at 3 each.

As of August 21, 2026, Guest carries a Quantellect Score of 21, placing him in the "weak" tier and ranking 61st in a 76-member scored cohort. Quantellect flags the coverage on this score as limited. For context, 76 members have a score, 73 of whom are currently sitting. Of the 537 currently sitting members of Congress, 276, 237 in the House and 39 in the Senate, have disclosed no stock trades whatsoever. Guest's seven-year disclosure history, even with its long quiet stretches, stands well apart from that zero-trade baseline.
