Eight stock trades by three lawmakers were disclosed between Mar. 30 and Apr. 6, 2026, with Sen. John Fetterman accounting for the majority of activity. The Pennsylvania Democrat reported five transactions during the period, while Sen. Tina Smith filed two and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito disclosed one.
Overall, lawmakers reported five purchases and three sales spanning eight different companies. The activity touched technology, financial services, and industrials—sectors that have been particularly sensitive to interest rate expectations and ongoing debates in Washington around industrial policy and semiconductor supply chains.
Members of Congress are required under the 2012 STOCK Act to disclose securities trades within 45 days. The law was designed to increase transparency and discourage trading based on nonpublic legislative information. Investors and watchdog groups frequently review these filings for potential conflicts of interest. Readers can track the latest congressional trades as disclosures are published.
Fetterman Accounts for Majority of Activity
Sen. John Fetterman reported five trades during the week, making him the most active lawmaker in the latest disclosures. His transactions included both technology and semiconductor exposure, sectors that have drawn intense congressional attention as lawmakers debate domestic chip manufacturing incentives and national security restrictions on advanced chips.
Among the purchases disclosed was a trade in Micron Technology, the Idaho-based semiconductor manufacturer. The stock, listed under ticker MU, has been closely watched as the U.S. government pushes to expand domestic memory chip production. Congress helped pass the CHIPS and Science Act in 2022, and oversight of those incentives continues across multiple committees.
Fetterman also reported a purchase of Microsoft, ticker MSFT. Microsoft remains one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world and a dominant player in cloud computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure—areas that have increasingly come under congressional scrutiny as regulators debate competition policy and AI governance.
The senator’s remaining trades contributed to the week’s total of eight transactions across eight companies, underscoring how a single lawmaker can account for the majority of weekly disclosure activity.
Smith Reports Two Transactions
Sen. Tina Smith of Minnesota disclosed two trades during the reporting window. While smaller in volume than Fetterman’s activity, Smith’s filings still placed her among the most active members for the week.
Congressional trading disclosures often reflect portfolio management decisions made by spouses or third-party financial advisers rather than direct trading by lawmakers themselves. Still, the transactions are reported under the member’s name under STOCK Act disclosure rules.
Capito Reports Single Trade
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, a Republican from West Virginia, disclosed one trade during the period. Capito’s filing contributed to the small but varied set of companies appearing in the week’s disclosures.
Although the number of trades was limited, the filings still provide a snapshot of the types of companies appearing in congressional portfolios at a time when markets remain volatile amid shifting monetary policy expectations.
Industrial and Financial Names Among Sales
Three companies appeared in the week’s reported sales activity: 3M Company, Berkshire Hathaway, and FactSet Research Systems.
- Industrial conglomerate 3M, traded as MMM, appeared in one reported sale.
- Berkshire Hathaway’s Class B shares, ticker BRKB, were also sold in a disclosed transaction.
- Financial data provider FactSet Research Systems, listed under FDS, rounded out the week’s reported sales.
Each of those companies represents a different segment of the U.S. economy—from manufacturing to financial services—highlighting the breadth of securities that can appear in congressional portfolios.
Technology Remains a Recurring Theme
The purchases reported during the week leaned toward technology-oriented companies, including MU and MSFT. Tech stocks have been a recurring feature of congressional trading disclosures in recent years, reflecting the sector’s large weight in major U.S. equity indexes and its outsized influence on market performance.
Lawmakers routinely debate legislation that could affect major technology companies—from antitrust enforcement and data privacy rules to semiconductor supply chains and federal AI oversight. That overlap between policymaking and investment exposure is one reason congressional trading activity continues to draw attention from transparency advocates.
For the week ending Apr. 6, however, the headline number remains modest: eight trades across three lawmakers, with one senator responsible for most of the activity.
