Shelley Moore Capito Stock Trades

The single most striking fact in Shelley Moore Capito's disclosure record is not any one trade but who is doing the trading. Of 624 disclosed transactions dating back to 2012, 545 are attributed to a spouse, only 34 are attributed to the senator herself, three are joint, and 42 carry no attribution code at all. Every transaction detailed in the most recent filings in this record carries the "Spouse" attribution label. This is a household trading record filed under a senator's name, not a personal stock-picking log, and that distinction matters for how the activity should be read.

The record also shows a genuine change in behavior over time rather than a single static pattern, and both periods are documented here. In 2016 through 2018, disclosed activity ran heavily toward purchases: 26 transactions in 2016 (22 purchases against just 2 sales), 94 in 2017 (76 purchases, 14 sales), and a peak of 164 in 2018 (107 purchases, 53 sales). Sales exceeded purchases in 2019 and in every year from 2021 onward, with 2020 the exception. That year produced 70 transactions with only 2 purchases against 65 sales and 3 other transactions. In 2020, purchases slightly exceeded sales, eight to seven. Later years skewed toward selling: 33 transactions in 2022 (4 purchases, 29 sales), 44 in 2023 (10 purchases, 34 sales), 35 in 2024 (8 purchases, 27 sales), and 66 in 2025 (13 purchases, 53 sales). Through the middle of 2026, the record already shows 22 transactions, 5 purchases against 17 sales, continuing the same sell-heavy tilt. Across the full record, sales outnumber purchases 337 to 274.

Recent Activity and What Changed Hands

The most recent filing in the record covers a cluster of five sales executed on the same day, July 21, 2026, and disclosed August 4, 2026: partial sales of Coca-Cola, Cisco Systems, Intel and Apple, plus a larger partial sale of Microsoft in the $15,001-$50,000 range. The five transactions spanned beverages, networking equipment, semiconductors, consumer hardware and software, and each carries the “Spouse” attribution label.

Earlier in 2026, the activity shows some rotation rather than pure liquidation. In February, sales of Illinois Tool Works, Paychex (a full sale), Analog Devices and BlackRock were paired with purchases of Broadcom and Alphabet Class C shares. In March, two separate partial sales of FactSet Research Systems followed by a full sale on March 31, ran alongside new purchases of PNC Financial Services and American Express, and a separate purchase of Mastercard. In 2025, similar pairs appear: a July stretch of sales in PPG Industries, Colgate-Palmolive, General Dynamics, Broadcom, Apple, JPMorgan, Aflac, Microsoft and Chubb ran alongside purchases of Alphabet, Meta Platforms and American Express, and a June round of sales touched UnitedHealth Group, Citigroup, Analog Devices, Microsoft, Exxon Mobil and Wells Fargo (a full sale) in one filing. None of this activity in the record carries a "SELF" attribution code; every transaction described here carries the “Spouse” attribution label and is disclosed under the senator's name because federal ethics law requires reporting of a spouse's transactions, not because the trades are described in the filings as her own decisions.

Sector Concentration and the Most Frequently Disclosed Names

By transaction count, the record concentrates in three areas: Information Technology (116 transactions), Financials (114), and a group of 115 transactions where the underlying company's sector could not be classified in this record ("Unknown"). Health Care (56), Industrials (55), Consumer Staples (46), Consumer Discretionary (40), Energy (30), Utilities (20), Communication Services (17), Materials (9) and Real Estate (6) round out the remaining sector activity.

Microsoft is the single most frequently disclosed name in the record, appearing in 38 transactions (5 purchases, 33 sales) running through July 2026, a software and technology company whose operations include Productivity and Business Processes, Intelligent Cloud, and More Personal Computing. Apple follows with 22 transactions (5 purchases, 17 sales); the company designs and markets smartphones, personal computers, tablets, wearables and related services. Banking names are heavily represented: Citigroup (20 transactions, 1 purchase against 19 sales), Wells Fargo (15, with 2 purchases and 13 sales) and JPMorgan Chase (14, split 8 purchases to 6 sales), alongside recurring activity in BlackRock, Chubb and Aflac. Lowe's appears 12 times in Consumer Discretionary, and semiconductor and IT-infrastructure names, Intel, Broadcom, Cisco and IBM, each show up eight to ten times, underscoring the frequency of technology and financial-services names in the disclosures. Energy activity includes recurring transactions in Exxon Mobil and Chevron, while Health Care activity spreads across Abbott Laboratories, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson and UnitedHealth Group.

What is available here are individual purchase, sale and other transaction disclosures, including attribution labels, transaction dates and statutory amount ranges. Capito's record contains transactions dating to 2012 and continuing into 2026, with the activity attributed predominantly to a spouse. The yearly figures show purchase-heavy disclosure activity in 2016 through 2018, a shift toward sales in 2019, a slight purchase majority in 2020, and more sales than purchases in every year from 2021 through the latest transactions in the record.

Disclosure Notes

This Quantellect profile is built from disclosed transaction reports. Transactions are reported in statutory dollar ranges, not exact amounts, and dates reflect the transaction date as filed, which can precede the public disclosure date by weeks. Attribution codes (Self, Spouse, Joint, Dependent Child, or Unknown where the filing does not specify) come directly from the underlying filings and are reproduced as reported; unattributed transactions are not characterized as personal trades. Nothing here should be read as an accusation, an inference of motive, or a claim about who directed a transaction. Source filings are available through the Senate Select Committee on Ethics under disclosure requirements established by the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012.
