Which stocks did Nancy Pelosi or her husband Paul Pelosi trade in 2024 and 2025 and when were the transactions reported?
Executive summary
Public trackers and contemporary press reporting show Nancy Pelosi and her husband disclosed a cluster of tech-focused option and share transactions executed in late 2024 (primarily December) and disclosed in mid‑to‑January 2025 filings and news reports; the headline positions include exercises and sales in NVIDIA and Apple and purchases of call options in Alphabet, Amazon and Vistra, among others [1] [2] [3]. Official House disclosure PDFs and aggregator sites confirm filings dated mid‑January 2025 but note the statutory reporting lag that can make execution dates and disclosure dates differ by weeks [4] [1].
1. How the filings and public trackers frame the timing of trades
Congressional trades are recorded by disclosure filings and then collected by independent trackers; the trackers and Pelosi’s public PTR filings emphasize a legal reporting window (often cited as a 45‑day delay) so that trades executed in December and early January show up on formal filings and in media summaries in mid‑ to late‑January 2025 [1] [4].
2. The December 2024 actions: NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks, Apple (exercise and sales reported)
Multiple trackers and financial writeups report that in December 2024 Pelosi (or her household) exercised a large NVIDIA position — commonly reported as exercising 500 call contracts (equivalent in reporting to 50,000 shares) in mid/late December 2024 — and that around the same period there were sales of Apple shares; those exercises and sales are reflected in the December transactions later disclosed in January filings and press pieces [1] [5] [6].
3. Early‑January 2025 purchase filings: Alphabet, Amazon and Vistra call options
Several outlets and trackers list purchases of call options on Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN) and Vistra (VST) attributed to transactions dated January 14, 2025, each reported in the $250,001–$500,000 range and described as 50 call contracts with a $150 strike (for Alphabet and Amazon) and a $50 strike for Vistra with expirations in 2026; these trades were summarized in press coverage and on Pelosit racker pages after the formal filings became public [1] [3].
4. Other notable option activity reported in trackers (Broadcom, Palo Alto Networks, exercises)
Trackers and summary pages also register earlier 2024 option purchases such as Broadcom (AVGO) call purchases in mid‑2024 and reported exercises of Palo Alto Networks (PANW) call options; specifics vary across aggregators, but the consolidated public listings show entries for AVGO, PANW and other tech‑sector option transactions spanning 2024 into the January 2025 disclosure cycle [1] [6].
5. Media reporting and the official PDF filing dates
Mainstream reporting — for example Fox Business and financial outlets — ran stories in late January 2025 outlining that Pelosi disclosed “several stock trades on Inauguration Day” which were actually made in December and early January; the official digitally signed House PTR PDF in the public disclosures corresponds to mid‑January 2025 filing timestamps, confirming the filings were submitted around Jan. 17, 2025 while many outlets reported the contents Jan. 22, 2025 and thereafter [2] [4].
6. Conflicting details, valuation bands and where the record is precise or fuzzy
Aggregators and commentary differ on granular details — for example, some sources list exact counts of contracts and strike prices while others summarize dollar bands or report apparent inconsistencies between filings (notably around contract counts for certain NVIDIA entries) — and analysts routinely caution that external trackers reconstruct transactions from PTR PDFs and that rounding to statutory value bands can obscure precise dollar amounts [6] [1] [7]. Where the supplied sources disagree on contract counts or exact strike adjustments, the public record in the official PTR PDFs is the primary artifact; the trackers compile and interpret those filings but do not replace the signed disclosures [4] [1].
7. Bottom line: which names and when they were reported
Publicly tracked and press‑summarized trades tied to Nancy Pelosi and her husband that appear in late‑2024 execution windows and January 2025 disclosures include NVIDIA (exercise and partial sale reported, Dec. 2024 with disclosure in mid‑Jan. 2025), Apple (sales reported in late Dec. 2024 filings), and January 14, 2025 purchases of call options in Alphabet and Amazon and Vistra (reported in the mid‑January PTR filing and covered in media later in January) — with other option entries for Broadcom and Palo Alto Networks recorded across 2024 and reported alongside the January 2025 filings [1] [2] [3] [5] [6]. The official digitally signed House disclosure PDF is dated Jan. 17, 2025, and many outlets published summaries on Jan. 22, 2025 [4] [2].
