Nancy Pelosi's latest stock purchase is her biggest single trade on record. On July 24, 2026, the former Speaker of the House bought INTC shares in two transactions worth an estimated $1.1 million combined, according to a periodic transaction report filed under the STOCK Act.

The buy is split between two filings, both dated July 24:

  • Buy – $250,000 to $500,000, spouse's account
  • Buy – $500,000 to $1,000,000, spouse's account

The exact price per share is not disclosed, but at the current price of $87.26, the total would represent roughly 12,600 shares. The stock is up sharply from its 52-week low of $23.68 but remains well below its high of $142.35.

Her largest trade in a single stock

Pelosi has made 322 career trades since 2019, according to Nancy Pelosi's disclosure history. The previous largest single purchase was a $500,000 to $1 million buy of Nvidia in 2024. This Intel purchase tops that at the midpoint.

The filing is dated July 24, 2026, which falls within a standard 45-day reporting window. Pelosi has a clean record on timely disclosures, with no late filings in the database.

Intel's turnaround bet

Intel is in the middle of a capital-intensive push to regain semiconductor process leadership. The company has committed billions to new fabrication plants, some supported by U.S. industrial policy incentives. Its foundry business, which makes chips for other companies, remains a key part of that strategy.

The stock has been volatile. It trades at $87.26, down from a 52-week high of $142.35 but up 268% from its low. Analysts who follow the stock say the market is pricing in execution risk on the turnaround.

Other lawmakers in Intel

Pelosi is not alone. 103 lawmakers have traded Intel since 2019, making it one of the most traded semiconductor names in Congress. That list includes both Democrats and Republicans, though no other single trade in the database matches the size of Pelosi's latest purchase.

The STOCK Act requires members of Congress to disclose securities transactions over $1,000 within 45 days. The disclosure does not indicate wrongdoing; it is a record of a transaction, not a finding of intent.

Pelosi's office has not commented on the trade. The filing is public record.
