Scott Franklin Stock Trades

Representative Scott Franklin, a Republican serving Florida's 18th District, has disclosed 299 securities transactions dating back to February 11, 2021, the most recent recorded on February 10, 2026. What stands out is not any single trade but the rhythm of the activity itself: the pace has swung sharply from year to year, and the balance between buying and selling has flipped almost every twelve months. 2021 was dominated by sales, 2022 flipped hard into purchases, 2023 swung back to sales, 2024 became by far the busiest year on record with 115 disclosed transactions, and 2025 tilted toward selling again before 2026 opened with just three transactions, all of them sales of Hershey Co. stock.

According to Quantellect's politician trading score (formula version politician_bw_score.v3, as of August 21, 2026), Franklin carries a score of 55, placing him in the "solid" tier and ranked 35th of 76 members in the scored cohort. That level of disclosed activity puts the record well ahead of the norm: as of August 22, 2026, 276 of the 537 sitting members of Congress had no disclosed trades on record at all.

Attribution, Volume, and the Shape of the Trading Record

Of the 299 disclosed transactions, 128 are attributed directly to Franklin (Self), 110 to a joint account, and 61 to his spouse; none are attributed to a dependent child. That mix matters for how the record should be read. A large share of the activity sits in joint or spousal accounts rather than being uniformly personal, and several of the largest single-day clusters in the data are joint or spouse-only events.

The year-by-year counts tell the clearest story about how the disclosed activity changed over time. 2021 produced 25 transactions, just 2 purchases against 22 sales and one other-type transaction. 2022 reversed that entirely: 44 transactions, 39 of them purchases against only 5 sales. 2023 swung back toward selling, with 62 transactions split 10 purchases to 52 sales. 2024 was the outlier year by volume, 115 transactions, 66 purchases against 49 sales. 2025 pulled back to 50 transactions with a sell tilt, 22 purchases versus 28 sales. Through the most recent disclosure in 2026, only 3 transactions have been recorded, all sales.

Two dated clusters illustrate how concentrated some of this activity gets. On June 16, 2025, sixteen separate sales, spanning McDonald's, Home Depot, Apple, Visa, Merck, Cisco, Alphabet, Microsoft, Walmart, Johnson & Johnson, Kenvue, JPMorgan Chase, Berkshire Hathaway Class B, Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo, and United Parcel Service, were disclosed together in a filing dated July 14, 2025, and all sixteen are attributed to the joint account. A separate batch from August 7, 2024, covering Comcast, Merck, McDonald's, Hershey, Alphabet, Invesco QQQM, First Trust SDVY, Apple, Procter & Gamble, Berkshire Hathaway Class B, Starbucks, Visa, JPMorgan Chase, UPS, UnitedHealth Group, Costco, and Home Depot, were all purchases attributed to the spouse, but that filing was not disclosed until July 3, 2025, nearly a year after the trades occurred. Within roughly the same August 2024 window, the transaction-frequency data lists QQQ and IJR at five sales and no purchases apiece, with the most recent transaction for each dated August 6, 2024. The record then shows a spouse-attributed purchase of the Invesco QQQM Nasdaq 100 ETF on August 7, 2024, in the $1,001-$15,000 range, disclosed in the July 3, 2025 filing.

Frequently Disclosed Names and Sector Themes

Ranked by how often a security appears across the disclosed transactions, Starbucks Corporation leads with 15 rows (7 purchases, 8 sales, most recently August 14, 2024), followed by Walmart Inc. with 10, Apple Inc. and United Parcel Service Inc. tied at 9 each, and Costco Wholesale Corp, Cisco Systems Inc, and Microsoft Corporation each appearing 8 times. Comcast Corp and Lockheed Martin Corporation each show up 7 times, and Hershey Co, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and Novo Nordisk A/S each appear 6 times. Lockheed Martin and Novo Nordisk stand out within that group for being purchase-heavy: Lockheed Martin shows 6 purchases against just 1 sale, and Novo Nordisk, the Danish pharmaceutical company whose product lines include obesity and diabetes care, rare-disease products, smart insulin pens, and an oral Wegovy GLP-1 therapy, shows 6 purchases and zero disclosed sales. Union Pacific Corporation, the Omaha-based freight railroad, follows the same pattern with 4 purchases and no sales, most recently a $50,001-$100,000 purchase attributed to Franklin himself on October 14, 2025.

The single largest dollar transaction in the record involves The Baldwin Insurance Group, Inc. (ticker BWIN), a Tampa, Florida-based insurance distribution and underwriting firm formerly known as BRP Group. A partial sale dated February 7, 2025, attributed to the joint account, falls in the $1,000,001-$5,000,000 range, by far the largest amount bracket disclosed anywhere in this record; it followed a smaller $15,001-$50,000 partial sale on February 6, 2025, and preceded another partial sale of $500,001-$1,000,000 on April 10, 2025. BWIN appears three times total in the disclosed activity, and all three transactions are partial sales attributed to the joint account.

By sector, the largest single bucket, 99 of the 299 transactions, falls under "Unknown." The underlying data supplies no sector classification for transaction rows including BRK.B, IVV, IJR, QQQ, QQQM, SDVY, and Fidelity Advisor Total Bond. Among sector-classified activity, Health Care leads with 36 transactions, followed by Consumer Staples with 35, Consumer Discretionary with 30, Industrials with 29, Information Technology with 28, Financials with 18, Communication Services with 15, Utilities with 6, and Materials with 3.

The most recent disclosure, covering the transaction date of February 10, 2026 and filed February 23, 2026, consists of three separate sales of Hershey Co. stock: one attributed to Franklin personally in the $1,001-$15,000 range, one attributed to his spouse in the same range, and a third attributed to Franklin personally in the $50,001-$100,000 range. Hershey has been one of the more persistently traded names in the record, with six total disclosed transactions stretching back to August 2024, split evenly between purchases and sales.

Disclosure and Attribution Notes

This profile is built entirely from Franklin's official financial disclosure filings with the U.S. House of Representatives, required under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 and governed by the House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure instruction guide. Disclosed transactions are reported in dollar ranges, not exact amounts, and transaction dates can precede disclosure dates by weeks or, in several cases documented above, by close to a year. Where a transaction is labeled Spouse or Joint, it reflects activity in an account tied to Franklin's spouse or a jointly held account, not necessarily a decision made by Franklin himself; only transactions labeled Self are directly attributable to him. This page reflects transaction disclosures only and describes their frequency, dates, disclosed amount ranges, and attribution rather than current ownership.
