Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) kept her seat in the 2026 midterms. Weeks before voters handed her 58.3% of the vote, she was busy trimming her portfolio, including a few of the market's biggest names.

Four Sales, Three Magnificent Seven Names

Capito sold four stocks on Oct. 21, according to government trade disclosure data. Here's the rundown:

• Oct. 21: Sold $1,000 to $15,000 in Apple Inc. (AAPL) stock
• Oct. 21: Sold $1,000 to $15,000 in Meta Platforms Inc. (META) stock
• Oct. 21: Sold $1,000 to $15,000 in Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) stock
• Oct. 21: Sold $1,000 to $15,000 in Zoetis Inc. (ZTS) stock

Three of those four transactions were partial sales of Magnificent Seven stocks, the mega-cap tech club that has driven so much of the market's returns.

For the 72-year-old senator, this isn't a one-off. Capito also sold Apple stock in July and April. In July, she sold Microsoft along with other tech names like Cisco Systems and Intel.

Now that she's been reelected, Capito must keep disclosing her stock trades to the public, which means we'll get to keep watching.

A Long Trading History

Since 2015, Capito has made nearly 600 trades totaling $5.8 million, according to data from Quiver Quantitative.

The senator has mostly been selling stocks in recent years. In fact, 2021 was the last year her purchases totaled more than her sales, making her recent activity part of a longer trend of portfolio pruning rather than a sudden shift.
