Nancy Pelosi

Though regarded as one of the best traders in Congress, Representative Nancy Pelosi’s two most recent stock market investments proved less than stellar by press time on Friday, July 24.

The bigger and less successful by a significant margin was her bullish bet on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) stock, executed on May 29 and dislocated on June 23. Specifically, INTC shares were changing hands at $114.68 late in the year’s fifth month and declined 12.97% by press time to $99.84.

While such a market move would imply Representative Pelosi lost up to $648,500 – the trade was reported as being worth between $1 million and $5 million – the situation is not as clear-cut as it would be with a regular long stock position.

Indeed, the Democrat executed her bet in the form of call options with an expiration date in March 2027.

Nancy Pelosi’s Uber stock trade is under water

Simultaneously, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi’s other latest stock trade – executed and disclosed on the same day as the Intel investment – proved only slightly less unsuccessful by press time.

Specifically, the U.S. politician purchased up to $1 million worth of Uber (NYSE: UBER) call options on May 29, at the time when the equity was changing hands at $70.40. By Friday, July 24, the technology company saw its stock drop 2.10% to $68.92.

Had the Representative’s trade been a regular stock long position, she would have accrued up to $21,000 in unrealized losses since late May.

Nancy Pelosi portfolio 2026 performance

Finally, examining the overall Nancy Pelosi portfolio, as constructed by the popular website Quiver Quant, reveals that the famous Congressional trader has not been more successful than the overall market since 2026 started.

Specifically, the strategy that attempts to copy the Congresswoman is up 2.62% year-to-date (YTD), and the benchmark S&P 500 market index rallied 7.96% since January 2 – the first regular session after New Year’s Day.
