Lawmakers Bet Big on These 3 Stocks—Should You?Authored by Jessica Mitacek. Published: 4/22/2026. 
Key Points
- Approximately half of the members of Congress are millionaires, with some representatives logging thousands of trades and tens of millions in volume annually.
- Despite the majority of professional fund managers failing to beat the S&P 500, some members of Congress consistently outperform the market.
- In the last 90 days, lawmakers have shown strong bipartisan interest in Netflix, Broadcom, and JPMorgan Chase.
- Special Report: Elon Musk’s $1 Quadrillion AI IPO
A large share of members of the U.S. Congress are millionaires, but it’s highly unlikely any of them reached that level of net worth on a lawmaker's salary alone. While the base pay for a senator or representative is a respectable $174,000 per year, that amount is still far short of the earnings typically required to build a seven-figure net worth. Instead, many elected officials have been extremely active in the market, logging hundreds — if not thousands — of trades each year.
When the SpaceX IPO launches, most retail investors will be locked out. The banks, funds, and insiders get in early - while everyone else waits on the sidelines.
But one small infrastructure supplier - a critical piece Musk can't scale the Colossus network without - is still trading well under institutional radar. A new briefing reveals the name and ticker at no cost. Get the SpaceX infrastructure stock name and ticker here
In 2025, for example, Representative Ro Khanna (D-California) made 4,555 trades totaling nearly $63 million in volume. Representative Michael T. McCaul (R-Texas) recorded 1,057 trades totaling nearly $62 million in volume. Although numerous efforts to curb congressional stock trading have been introduced, many of those bills fail to advance. Meanwhile, exchange-traded funds that track congressional trading—like the Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic Trading ETF (BATS: NANC)—highlight an interesting contrast: despite more than 94% of actively managed funds failing to beat the S&P 500 over 20 years, members of Congress appear to outperform with relative ease. For investors looking to potentially capitalize on that phenomenon, here are the top three stocks purchased by U.S. lawmakers according to mandatory disclosure filings filed in the past 90 days. Representatives Are Benefiting From Netflix’s Big BounceAt the top of the list for members of Congress is communication services giant Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). The stock has received bipartisan interest over the past three months, with nine buys from four representatives resulting in $163,500 in reported inflows. After hitting an all-time high in June 2025, NFLX experienced a well-publicized sell-off that sent shares down more than 43%. Since the stock’s year-to-date low on Feb. 12, however, it has rallied nearly 42% — roughly the gain Representative McCaul has seen since purchasing shares on Feb. 17, a trade he disclosed on March 10. Fundamentally, Netflix looked poised for a rebound. The stock had been severely oversold despite year-over-year revenue growth of nearly 16% in both 2024 and 2025. Those years also produced earnings growth of about 65% and 28%, respectively, so the share-price decline appeared out of step with the company’s solid financial performance. Wall Street is bullish on the streaming giant: 36 of the 50 analysts who cover the stock assign it a Buy rating, and the high-end price target implies more than 60% potential upside. Broadcom’s Rally Was Preceded by Heavy Congressional BuyingBy dollar volume, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) has been one of the most frequently purchased stocks by members of Congress. Over the past 90 days, the semiconductor and infrastructure software company saw members of both parties buy roughly $3,080,500 of its stock across eight trades. The timing of those purchases was fortuitous. Over the past month, AVGO has climbed nearly 30%, and since its YTD low on March 30 the stock has gained more than 35%. The recent rally was driven in part by news that Broadcom expanded its deal with Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) to produce custom AI chips, extended a deal with Google through 2031 to develop Tensor Processing Units (TPU), and agreed to provide Anthropic with access to roughly 3.5 gigawatts of TPU-based AI compute capacity beginning in 2027. Representative Tony Wied (R-Wisconsin) purchased between $1 million and $5 million worth of Broadcom stock on Feb. 19. That trade, disclosed on March 9, leaves the lawmaker’s position up nearly 19% since the purchase. Congress Is Placing a Big Bet on a Legacy Banking StockOver the past 90 days, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) has seen eight Congressional trades totalling $304,500 in inflows from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. This includes a sizable Feb. 19 purchase by Representative Khanna, disclosed on March 9, for an amount between $100,001 and $250,000. Since that filing, the 225-year-old bank's shares have been mostly flat. However, after reporting a beat on both the top and bottom lines for Q1 2026 on April 14, JPM’s forward P/E of about 14 suggests the stock may be undervalued, especially given consensus expectations for earnings growth of more than 7% over the next year. The financials sector has struggled this year, producing the worst year-to-date performance among the S&P 500’s 11 sectors. With major banks reporting solid earnings and record revenues as earnings season gets underway, members of Congress could be positioning themselves for a potential rebound in JPM. |
