Congressional stock trading is always a hot topic among retail investors, and a recent disclosure from Rep. Lizzie Fletcher (D-Texas) is no exception. The congresswoman reported selling shares of four Magnificent Seven stocks on April 8, according to filings tracked by MarketDash's Government Trades page.
Each transaction was in the $1,000 to $15,000 range, and the filing notes that the assets were inherited in January 2026. The stocks sold include:
That's four of the seven Magnificent Seven names, and it includes Alphabet—the group's top performer year-to-date in 2026, up 21.6%. Apple and Nvidia are also positive for the year, while Microsoft is down about 12%.
Fletcher's last disclosed stock trades were back in 2019, according to data from Quiver Quantitative. The fact that these shares were inherited in January and sold in April could mean she's avoiding the appearance of conflicts of interest, or it could simply be a routine portfolio adjustment. Either way, Magnificent Seven stocks are always in the spotlight, and seeing a member of Congress sell them off tends to generate buzz.
MarketDash will continue tracking congressional trading activity for any unusual moves.
