Roughly $24,000 moved in and out of Cognizant Technology Solutions in just over a month by the household of Rep. Ro Khanna, according to newly filed disclosures.
The California Democrat reported buying and then selling shares of CTSH between Feb. 24 and March 30, executing a swift round-trip as the IT services giant hovered near the bottom of its 52-week range.
- Feb. 24, 2026: Buy — $1,001 to $15,000 (owner: DC)
- March 23, 2026: Sell — $1,001 to $15,000 (owner: DC)
- March 30, 2026: Sell — $1,001 to $15,000 (owner: DC)
The total value of the transactions is estimated at about $24,000. Congressional disclosures provide only broad dollar ranges rather than exact amounts.
Cognizant, which trades on the Nasdaq and carries a market capitalization of $29.1 billion, was recently priced at $60.37. The stock has traded between $60.04 and $87.03 over the past year, placing Khanna’s February purchase near the lower bound of that range.
Timing Near 52-Week Lows
The Feb. 24 purchase came as shares were drifting toward their 52-week low. By late March, the position had been fully exited in two separate sales. The filings do not disclose exact prices, so it’s unclear whether the household realized a gain or loss on the trades.
The quick turnaround mirrors other short-duration trades previously reported by the Khanna household, which has logged 17,672 career transactions. The lawmaker is among the more active traders in Congress by volume of disclosed trades.
At least 28 other lawmakers have reported trading CTSH, making it a relatively common holding on Capitol Hill compared with smaller-cap names.
Committee Overlap With Tech and Cyber
Khanna serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He also sits on the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, as well as subcommittees covering cybersecurity, information technology, and innovation.
Cognizant provides IT consulting, digital transformation services, and technology outsourcing to corporate and government clients. Federal spending on cybersecurity, cloud modernization, and defense IT systems can directly affect firms operating in this space.
While there is no indication the trades were connected to any specific legislative action, Khanna’s committee portfolio places him in regular contact with policy areas that influence large technology contractors.
Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress are required to disclose stock trades within 45 days, but they are not barred from buying or selling individual equities.
The CTSH transactions add to a steady stream of activity from the Khanna household this year. Investors tracking latest congressional trades often look for patterns in timing, sector focus, and holding periods — particularly when lawmakers oversee industries tied to their investments.
In this case, the pattern was straightforward: a February entry near yearly lows, followed by a full exit five weeks later.
