Sheldon Whitehouse Stock Trades

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's most recent disclosures show transaction activity tilted strongly toward sales rather than purchases. Of the 23 transaction rows dated in 2026 so far, only 2 were purchases against 21 sales, and the same lopsided pattern held in 2025 (3 purchases, 24 sales) and 2024 (6 purchases, 33 sales). That is a marked reversal from the Rhode Island Democrat's earlier disclosure history: in 2016 the record included 123 purchases against 50 sales, in 2014 it was 88 purchases against 59 sales, and in 2013, 74 purchases against 33 sales. The transaction record, which stretches back to 2012, therefore shows purchase-heavy activity through much of the mid-2010s followed by sale-heavy activity in recent years, although the disclosures do not establish the reasons for that shift.

Attribution matters here. Across all 1,046 disclosed transactions, 365 are attributed to Whitehouse personally, 90 to his spouse, 251 to a joint account, 45 to a dependent child, and 295 carry no attribution code that ties them to a specific person. That means a large share of the record, including many of the transactions described below, cannot be characterized as an individual trading decision. Several recent sales, for example, appear in the same filing under separate "Self" and "Spouse" codes for the identical security and transaction date. Those codes document the reported attribution, but they do not establish whether the transactions reflected independent decisions or a shared management arrangement.

What the Recent Filings Show

The most recent transaction in the record is a partial sale of Lowe's Companies stock dated July 20, 2026 and disclosed August 3. A partial sale of NVIDIA Corporation dated June 30, along with several June 24 and June 25 transactions, was disclosed July 8. The June 25 activity mixed a full sale of Crown Castle with purchases of Micron Technology in the $1,001 to $15,000 range and Coherent Corp in the $15,001 to $50,000 range. Two Apple Inc. sales, one attributed to Whitehouse and one to his spouse, were dated June 24. NVIDIA recurs repeatedly in the record: it is the third most frequently disclosed security overall with 20 transactions. Recent NVIDIA entries are sales, including a pair of $100,001 to $250,000 partial sales dated May 8, 2026, one attributed to Whitehouse and one to his spouse.

Apple is the starkest single-name case in the data. All 15 disclosed Apple transactions across the full record are sales, with the most recent dated June 24, 2026, and none are purchases. That is unusual relative to the broader pattern, where most frequently disclosed names show a mix of buying and selling over time. By contrast, Walmart's 8 disclosed transactions are all purchases, though the most recent dates to August 28, 2018.

The transactions dated February 23, 2026 were disclosed together on March 6 and covered full or partial sales of Verizon Communications, Home Depot, PepsiCo twice, and Mastercard, attributed across both the Self and Spouse codes. Transactions dated January 9 were disclosed February 4 and covered Starbucks, McDonald's, NVIDIA, and Home Depot, again split between attribution codes. Grouped, same-date transactions recur throughout the record, but the filings do not state whether those groupings reflect account rebalancing or any other particular investment rationale.

Two municipal-bond transactions also appear in the record. A Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank safe drinking water bond was fully sold on September 4, 2025, attributed to Whitehouse personally, while a Rhode Island Health and Educational Building Corporation bond was fully sold on November 19, 2024, attributed to his spouse. Each was disclosed in the $15,001 to $50,000 range. These fixed-income transactions involve securities tied to the senator's home state and sit outside the sector-classified equity activity.

By sector, the largest single bucket of disclosed transactions, 288 of them, falls under an unclassified "Unknown" sector, a reminder that not every security in the record maps cleanly to a sector taxonomy. Among the classified activity, Information Technology (121 transactions), Health Care (119), Consumer Discretionary (115), Financials (100), Communication Services (96), and Industrials (95) lead, with Consumer Staples (72), Real Estate (16), Energy (12), Materials (8), and Utilities (4) trailing. Meta Platforms is the single most frequently disclosed security in the full history, with 26 transactions, though its most recent disclosure activity is dated February 2019. AT&T follows with 23, last dated September 2023. Among names with recent activity, NVIDIA, Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Verizon, PepsiCo, and Home Depot all have transactions dated in 2026. Those dates establish recent transaction activity, not continuing ownership after the reported transactions.

NVIDIA Corporation is a technology company focused on data-center AI infrastructure, accelerated computing, networking, and graphics products. Apple is the consumer hardware and services company behind products including the iPhone and Mac. These company descriptions provide context for the securities involved, but the disclosed transactions alone do not establish an investment rationale or a directional view on either business.

Under Quantellect's scoring framework, Whitehouse carries a score of 47 as of August 21, 2026, placing him in the "mixed" tier with "limited" coverage and ranking 41st in a 76-member scoring cohort. Of those scored members, 73 were sitting members of Congress as of the population measurement. For context, 276 of the 537 sitting members of Congress, including 39 of 100 sitting senators, have no disclosed trades on record. Whitehouse's record contains 1,046 transactions spanning February 5, 2012 through July 20, 2026. Recent annual totals are lower than those recorded through much of the mid-2010s, although the 2026 count covers only a partial year, and sales outnumbered purchases in 2024, 2025, and 2026 to date.

Disclosure Notes

This profile is based on transactions disclosed under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 and the Senate financial disclosure process described in the Senate Select Committee on Ethics financial disclosure guidance. Disclosed amounts reflect statutory reporting ranges, not exact transaction values. Some transactions are attributed to Senator Whitehouse personally, while others are attributed to a spouse, a joint account, a dependent child, or carry no attribution at all; where attribution is unclear, this profile does not assume the transaction reflects the senator's own decision. This profile summarizes discrete transaction disclosures rather than continuous account balances, so the record does not establish what remained in an account at any later date.
