Rep. Ro Khanna sold up to $50,000 in BE stock on October 7, 2026, and another $15,000 to $50,000 on October 13, 2026. The California Democrat sits on the Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs subcommittee, which oversees the renewable energy sector where Bloom Energy operates.
The two sales, both disclosed in a filing with the House, total roughly $65,000. One trade was listed as owned by a spouse, the other as jointly owned. Bloom Energy, a fuel cell maker with a market cap of $36.5 billion, trades on the NYSE at $193.88, near the middle of its 52-week range of $75.70 to $351.28.
Khanna has reported 20,339 career trades, making him one of the more active traders in Congress. His committee assignments include Armed Services, Oversight and Government Reform, and the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. But the Energy subcommittee seat gives him direct oversight of the sector that includes Bloom Energy's distributed power generation business.
Bloom Energy's solid oxide fuel cells convert natural gas or biogas into electricity, a product aimed at corporations and institutions seeking cleaner, more resilient power. The company is a player in the shift toward distributed energy resources, a focus area for the subcommittee that Khanna sits on.
Three other lawmakers have traded Bloom Energy stock this year, according to disclosure records. Khanna's sales came during a period when the stock was volatile, but the filing does not indicate a reason for the transactions.
The STOCK Act, passed in 2012, requires members of Congress to disclose stock trades within 45 days. The law is designed to prevent insider trading and conflicts of interest, and it makes these filings public. Khanna's filing was made in compliance with that timeline.
Khanna's career trading history includes a mix of buys and sells across technology, energy, and other sectors. His office has previously said that trades are handled by financial advisors and that he does not make individual investment decisions. That statement applies to these sales as well, though the filing itself offers no such explanation.
For investors tracking congressional activity, the latest congressional trades show a pattern: lawmakers with committee oversight roles frequently trade in the sectors they regulate. Khanna's Bloom Energy sales fit that pattern, but the disclosure does not allege any wrongdoing.
The trades were reported in a single filing covering both dates. The first sale, on October 7, was in the $15,000 to $50,000 range. The second, on October 13, was also in that range. Combined, they represent a modest reduction in Khanna's holdings of the fuel cell company.
Bloom Energy's stock has more than doubled over the past year, and its market cap has grown to $36.5 billion. The company's customers include data centers, hospitals, and other facilities that need reliable on-site power. Its technology is often cited as a bridge between natural gas and a fully renewable grid.
Khanna's subcommittee role is not the only connection to the stock. He has also been vocal about clean energy policy, and his district in Silicon Valley includes companies that could be Bloom Energy customers or competitors. But the filing itself is a transaction record, not a policy statement.
The disclosure was made public on the House financial disclosure website. It lists the owner of the first trade as a spouse, and the second as a joint account. The filing does not specify whether the sales were part of a planned divestment or a routine portfolio adjustment.
