CapitolRadar analysis
43 disclosed trades, led by 28 purchases
43 tracked COP transactions span March 4, 2020 through April 1, 2026: 28 buys and 15 sells reported by five distinct congressional traders. Purchases represent about two-thirds of the recorded activity, but the sample is small and concentrated among a limited number of filers. COP is ConocoPhillips, classified in Energy and Oil & Gas Exploration & Production.
The listed quarterly data show the heaviest period in 2023 Q2, with seven trades—three buys and four sells. That was followed by six trades in 2025 Q2, including four buys, and five in 2023 Q3, including four buys. More recent listed periods are thinner: 2025 Q4 had two trades split between one buy and one sell, while 2026 Q2 contains one trade and no buys. These sparse quarterly counts should not be treated as a broad or stable pattern.
14 Michael McCaul buys dominate the buyer count
Michael McCaul accounts for 14 of the 28 tracked purchases, with his latest buy dated April 23, 2025. Lois Frankel recorded five buys, last on June 21, 2023. Markwayne Mullin and Josh Gottheimer each recorded four; their latest purchases were December 29, 2025 and January 11, 2023, respectively. Ro Khanna recorded one buy, dated September 29, 2023. The totals therefore reflect substantial concentration in one trader rather than evenly distributed buying.
2-buyer overlaps recur across six other stocks
Two of these COP buyers also purchased each of DELL, GOOGL, IFNNY, META, ADI and BAX. The facts do not identify which traders formed each overlap or provide timing and transaction amounts, so these links cannot establish coordinated activity or a shared rationale.
Congressional disclosures can appear up to 45 days after a transaction, making recent periods potentially incomplete. Reported transaction amounts are disclosed as ranges, so any amount-based totals would be estimates; no dollar ranges are provided here. The five-trader sample also limits broader conclusions.
