Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) recently disclosed a new stock trade, one that could be the last one she makes before leaving office in January 2027.
Pelosi’s New Trade
Nancy Pelosi disclosed selling Warner Bros. Discovery shares in a new filing, as reported by the Benzinga Government Trades page.
The trade was made on Oct. 7 and was listed as being valued between $50,000 and $100,000. The notes say this was the cash-out of stock from the merger with Paramount Skydance, which now trades as Skydance Corporation (NYSE:SKYD).
As part of the merger, Warner Bros. shareholders received $31.0167 in cash for each WBD share they owned.
Data from Quiver Quantitative shows that Pelosi and her husband Paul Pelosi previously acquired 2,419 WBD shares in 2022 as part of a spinoff from AT&T (NYSE:T) at the time.
Those 2,419 shares would have been worth about $75,029 based on the merger buyout price.
For comparison, that represents 43.1% of the $174,000 annual salary that Pelosi receives.
Skydance shares traded between $8.65 and $9.50 on Oct. 7.
Pelosi’s Trading History and Exit
Pelosi has been one of the most-followed members of Congress for stock trading due to the large size of trades in both stocks and options made by her husband, a venture capitalist.
Recent trades made by Pelosi include buying a large number of shares and options in Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) and Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE).
Around a year ago, Pelosi said she would not seek re-election in the 2026 midterm elections, a decision that will end her service in Congress in January 2027.
“With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative,” Pelosi said in a video, addressing San Franciscans.
Pelosi has been in Congress since 1987 and became the first female Speaker of the House, a role she held from 2007 to 2011 and from 2019 to 2023.
The congresswoman is currently serving in her 20th congressional term and is 86 years old.
The Pelosis have had success with their trades, but some have also caused potential conflicts of interest and red flags, including buying Nvidia stock ahead of a vote on the CHIPS Act, which was set to benefit semiconductor companies such as Nvidia. Pelosi later reported selling the stock at a loss, a move that turned out to cost the couple millions of dollars in potential profits years later.
Pelosi also disclosed buying Tesla Inc. options ahead of pro-electric vehicle orders supported by then-President Joe Biden.
Disclosures have also shown sales of stock and options ahead of investigations, like the sale of Visa shares ahead of a recent Department of Justice probe.
Many investors track Pelosi’s trades, including the Pelosi Tracker on Autopilot, which has over $500 million in assets under management.
Pelosi has disclosed over 200 trades since 2014, totaling more than $225 million, according to data from Quiver Quantitative. In 2026, Pelosi’s disclosed trades are over $19 million.
When Pelosi leaves Congress, she will no longer be required to disclose the stock and options trading activity of her husband. This could mean that investors have seen the last trades ever disclosed by the former Speaker of the House.
SKYD Price Action: Skydance shares were down 8.85% at $7.93 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
