Shelley Moore Capito Stock Trades

Shelley Moore Capito Stock Trades

On July 21, 2026, five sell orders landed in the same disclosure batch under Senator Shelley Moore Capito's name: Coca-Cola, Cisco, Intel, Microsoft and Apple, all partial sales, all attributed to her spouse. The filing, made public on August 4, 2026, is a compact snapshot of a trading pattern that has held for years. Capito's disclosures run to 624 transactions dating back to August 14, 2012, and the tilt is unmistakable: 337 sales against 274 purchases, with the remainder classified as other transaction types. The senator is a Republican representing West Virginia and is currently in a term running from January 3, 2021, through January 3, 2027.

Attribution matters here more than usual. Of the 624 disclosed transactions, 545 are coded to her spouse, 34 to Capito herself, three as joint, and 42 carry no clear attribution in the data. In practical terms, the overwhelming majority of the trading activity associated with this disclosure record was not made by the senator personally. That distinction should frame everything that follows.

A buildup in 2017 and 2018, followed by years of steady selling

The year-by-year record shows a clear inflection point. Trading activity was modest through the mid-2010s: four transactions in 2015, eleven in 2014, a single transaction in 2013. That changed sharply in 2017 and 2018. In 2017, 94 transactions were disclosed, 76 of them purchases. In 2018, activity nearly doubled again to 164 transactions, 107 of them purchases, the single most active year in the record. Those two years contain 76 and 107 purchase disclosures, respectively, against 274 purchase disclosures across the full record.

What followed was a sustained tilt toward sales rather than a continuation of those purchase-heavy years. In 2019, 70 transactions were disclosed, but only two were purchases; 65 were sales. The pattern repeated in later years at a smaller scale: 33 transactions in 2022 with just four purchases, 44 in 2023 with ten, 35 in 2024 with eight. In 2025, activity picked back up to 66 transactions, still lopsided toward selling, 13 purchases against 53 sales. The 22 transactions disclosed so far in 2026 keep that ratio, five purchases against 17 sales. Taken together, the data describes a disclosure record in which purchase-heavy activity peaked in 2017 and 2018 before later years shifted decisively toward sales.

Technology and financials dominate the disclosed names

By sector, Information Technology accounts for the largest share of disclosed transactions at 116, narrowly ahead of Financials at 114. Health Care (56), Industrials (55), Consumer Staples (46) and Consumer Discretionary (40) follow well behind. Energy accounts for 30 transactions, Utilities 20, Communication Services 17, Materials nine and Real Estate six. A further 115 transactions are classified as Unknown in the dataset.

No single name appears more often than Microsoft, which shows up in 38 disclosed transactions, 33 sales and five purchases, with the most recent dated July 21, 2026. Apple follows with 22 transactions, 17 of them sales. Among financials, Citigroup appears 20 times (19 sales, one purchase) and Wells Fargo 15 times (13 sales), while JPMorgan Chase shows a more balanced mix at 14 transactions, eight purchases against six sales. Lowe's, Intel, Broadcom, Cisco, IBM and Exxon Mobil round out the most frequently disclosed names, each appearing between eight and 12 times.

Some of the more recent activity reads as thematic rather than scattered. Three purchases classified under Financials occurred in March 2026: American Express on March 11 and PNC Financial Services on March 12 were disclosed together, while the Mastercard purchase on March 28 appeared in a separate filing. All three were attributed to the spouse. FactSet Research Systems appears three times in the same stretch, with partial sales on March 25 and March 26 followed by a transaction classified as a full sale on March 31. Microsoft, Apple, Intel, Cisco and Coca-Cola, the five names sold on July 21, 2026, appear 38, 22, 10, eight and five times, respectively, across the record, making them repeat names rather than one-off transactions.

The sector classifications help explain the clustering among the names that recur most often. Microsoft, Apple, Intel, Broadcom, Cisco and IBM are all classified as Information Technology in the dataset. Citigroup, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and FactSet are classified as Financials, as are the March 2026 Mastercard, PNC Financial Services and American Express purchases. Lowe's is classified as Consumer Discretionary, Exxon Mobil as Energy and Coca-Cola as Consumer Staples. These classifications and counts describe disclosed transaction rows at their listed dates and should be read strictly as transaction-frequency data.

On Quantellect's congressional trading score, Capito scores 72 out of 100 as of August 21, 2026, placing her in the "solid" tier and 22nd in a 76-member scored cohort. For separate population context, the fact packet identifies 73 sitting members of Congress with scores and counts 39 of 100 sitting senators as having no disclosed trades.
