Senator Ron Wyden reported a stock purchase 465 days after the trade date, according to a filing made public this week. The STOCK Act allows 45 days. The delay is the longest in his 271 career trades.
The trade: a buy of AMCR, the ticker for Amcor plc, a packaging company listed on the NYSE. The purchase, valued between $100,000 and $250,000, was executed on April 30, 2025. The owner is listed as "SP," which typically denotes a spouse.
Amcor has a market cap of $18.7 billion. Shares trade near $47.86, within a 52-week range of $36.25 to $50.94. The company makes flexible and rigid packaging for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical brands.
Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, chairs the Senate Finance Committee. He also sits on the Budget Committee, the Joint Committee on Taxation, and the Select Committee on Intelligence. His committee assignments give him broad oversight of tax policy, trade, and corporate regulation, though Amcor's packaging business is not directly tied to any pending legislation he has sponsored.
The 465-day lag is not Wyden's first. His disclosure history shows a pattern of late filings, though this one is the most extreme. Under the STOCK Act, members must report trades within 45 days of execution. The law was passed in 2012 to curb insider trading and increase transparency.
Eleven other lawmakers have traded AMCR in the same period, according to our database. None reported a delay of this length.
The filing was submitted after the 45-day window had closed. The Senate Select Committee on Ethics can review late disclosures, but it does not publish enforcement actions. Wyden's office has not commented on the delay.
For context, Wyden has made 271 trades during his Senate career. The median reporting delay across all his trades is 38 days. This one is 420 days beyond that.
Investors who track congressional activity often use latest congressional trades to identify patterns. Wyden's late filing does not change the underlying transaction, but it raises a question: why did it take 15 months to report a routine purchase?
The answer is not in the filing. The disclosure form lists the trade date, the amount, and the owner. It does not include an explanation for the delay.
Amcor's stock has risen roughly 20% since the purchase date, based on the current price. The trade was made at a time when the stock traded near the lower end of its 52-week range.
