CapitolRadar analysis
55 trades split into 31 buys and 24 sells
IBM’s tracked activity covers 55 trades by five distinct traders from April 30, 2021, through July 16, 2026. The count includes 31 buys and 24 sells, leaving buys ahead by seven transactions. That is a modest difference in transaction counts, not a measure of net dollars, shares, conviction or subsequent performance.
The five-trader sample is small, and one participant accounts for nearly half of all recorded buys. Disclosures can also be filed up to 45 days after a transaction, so the latest reported activity should not be treated as real-time trading. Transaction amounts, when disclosed as ranges, are estimates rather than exact values; no amount data is provided here.
15 Ro Khanna buys lead a concentrated buyer list
Ro Khanna recorded 15 IBM buys, with the latest dated July 7, 2026. Josh Gottheimer follows with nine buys, most recently on March 10, 2025, while Michael McCaul has five, last dated March 4, 2026. Tommy Tuberville and Pete Sessions each have one buy, dated January 12, 2022, and April 30, 2021, respectively. Together, these five buyers account for all 31 recorded purchases.
Buyer overlap with other stocks is limited to pairs within this small group: two IBM buyers also bought IFNNY, two bought META, and two bought each of SWK, BSX, SPGI and WDAY. These overlaps identify shared transaction histories only; they do not establish a common rationale.
6 trades appeared across the first three quarters of 2026
The supplied 2026 quarterly data shows one buy in one trade during Q1, one buy among two trades during Q2, and one buy among three trades during Q3. Earlier listed quarters vary: 2025 Q3 had four trades with two buys, 2024 Q3 had four trades and all were buys, while 2024 Q1 had five trades with one buy. With few trades in each quarter, quarter-to-quarter shifts are based on small samples.

CapitolRadar signal history
NEW PICK 2026-10-11
Rep. Ro Khanna disclosed buying $1,001 to $15,000 of IBM stock. The trade fell short mainly because Khanna has no verified record of outperforming the S&P 500, so the buyer signal is unproven despite a second tracked IBM buyer. A verified history of strong results versus the S&P 500 would have been the clearest evidence to change the verdict.
NEW PICK 2026-09-11
Rep. Gilbert Cisneros disclosed buying $1,001–$15,000 of IBM stock. The trade fell short mainly because he has no verified trading history, so the buyer signal is unproven; documented past outperformance or corroborating IBM purchases by other tracked officials could have changed the verdict. The biggest caveat is that the transaction is dated in the future, raising questions about the source metadata.
