Rep. Ro Khanna reported roughly $40,000 in transactions tied to Netflix shares over a one‑week stretch in February, according to a congressional disclosure covering multiple purchases and a subsequent sale involving family accounts.
The activity involved shares of NFLX, the streaming giant that operates in more than 190 countries and commands a market capitalization of about $403.9 billion. Netflix shares recently traded around $95.31. The transactions were spread across accounts belonging to Khanna’s spouse and a dependent child.
Altogether, the filings show a cluster of small trades between Feb. 17 and Feb. 24, each valued in the standard congressional reporting range of $1,000 to $15,000. Such ranges make precise totals difficult to determine, but the combined value disclosed across the transactions is roughly $40,000.
A week of buying — then a sale
The trades show an initial wave of buying followed by a single sale days later. According to the disclosure, the transactions included:
- Feb. 17, 2026 — Buy: $1,000–$15,000 (Spouse)
- Feb. 18, 2026 — Buy: $1,000–$15,000 (Spouse)
- Feb. 18, 2026 — Buy: $1,000–$15,000 (Dependent child)
- Feb. 18, 2026 — Buy: $1,000–$15,000 (Dependent child)
- Feb. 24, 2026 — Sell: $1,000–$15,000 (Dependent child)
The sequence suggests incremental accumulation of Netflix shares across family accounts before at least part of the position was trimmed roughly a week later.
Members of Congress and their immediate families are permitted to buy and sell individual stocks, though they must disclose transactions under the STOCK Act, which requires reporting within a set timeframe intended to provide public transparency.
Netflix remains a popular Capitol Hill trade
Khanna is far from the only lawmaker to trade the streaming company. Disclosure data show 58 members of Congress have reported transactions in Netflix at some point, making it one of the more widely held technology and media names on Capitol Hill.
Investors broadly watch Netflix for signs of subscriber growth, pricing power, and margins as the streaming wars intensify. The company continues to invest heavily in original programming and global distribution, seeking to maintain its leadership position against competitors such as Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and others.
Short bursts of trading like the one reported by the Khanna household are not unusual in congressional disclosures, where lawmakers frequently report multiple small transactions executed across different family-managed accounts.
Khanna, a Democrat representing Silicon Valley, sits on several House panels including the Armed Services Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, as well as the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party.
The February filings add to a long record of market activity associated with the congressman. Historical data show 19,625 career trades disclosed across accounts tied to Khanna.
For readers tracking activity across Capitol Hill portfolios, these filings join the growing stream of latest congressional trades reported under federal disclosure rules.
