Congress trading alert: Congressman dumps Nvidia stock

Congress trading alert: Congressman dumps Nvidia stock
Vinicius Barbosa

Congress trading data usually provides valuable insights into the stock market, considering the influence Congress decisions can exert on stocks. Most recently, Congressman Daniel Meuser made three large sellings of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) shares, part of a massive trade.

Finbold retrieved Congress trading data from Quiver Quantitative, gathered through “The Stock Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act.” This regulation requires U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives to disclose any financial transaction within 45 days.

In particular, Daniel Meuser disclosed, on March 21, three large sales of Nvidia stocks he made on February 20. Two of Meuser’s trades were within a value between $15,001 and $50,000. Meanwhile, the third had a remarkable value between $250,001 to $500,000, according to the Congressman’s filings.

Daniel Meuser’s historical Nvidia dumps

Notably, this was not the first time the Congressman has sold large amounts of his shares in Nvidia Corporation. Daniel Meuser’s dumps date from January 21, 2022, being his largest trades and the most significant activity disclosed by the Representative in the past two years.

Meuser made three sales on January 21, 2022, one of them in the massive range of $250,000-$500,000. In May 2023, he sold NVDA twice, while making three consecutive dumps on August 14, 2023.

NVDA stock analysis

After each sale, the NVDA stock saw further increases in price varying from 284% from the Congressman’s first dumps to 30.80% from the most recent activity.

However, Quiver Quantitative has no records of Meuser’s purchases, which suggests they were made before June 2019. In that case, Daniel Meuser has accumulated impressive profits from this trade, even by missing out on the highlighted pumps following his sales.

Interestingly, NVDA has seen over 2,785% gains from its first traded price in 2019 of $32.66, to the current $942.89 per share.

In conclusion, Dan Mauser’s recent activity looks like strategic profit realization from a long-term trade that started years before. Nevertheless, investors must watch for possible future legislation that could affect Nvidia’s performance in the United States.
