CapitolRadar analysis
76 tracked VZ trades lean toward purchases
Verizon Communications Inc. has 76 tracked congressional and insider trades from 2020-07-23 through 2026-09-25: 45 buys and 31 sells involving six distinct traders. Buys therefore exceed sells by 14 transactions across the full period. The sample remains small—only six traders—so the trade count should not be treated as broad congressional participation or a market-wide signal.
Activity varies by reported quarter. 2026 Q3 contains six trades, including four buys, while 2026 Q2 has one trade, which was a buy. In 2026 Q1, only one of four trades was a purchase. Earlier listed quarters were also mixed: 2025 Q4 had two trades with one buy; 2025 Q3 had one buy; 2024 Q4 had one buy; 2024 Q2 had two trades and no buys; and 2023 Q4 had seven trades, including three buys.
33 of 45 buys came from Ro Khanna
Ro Khanna accounts for 33 of the 45 tracked VZ purchases, with the latest dated 2026-09-25. Josh Gottheimer recorded six buys, most recently on 2023-10-16, and Tommy Tuberville recorded three, most recently on 2023-07-25. Pete Sessions had two buys, last dated 2022-09-27, while Gilbert Cisneros had one buy dated 2026-09-18. That concentration means the overall buy majority is driven heavily by one trader rather than evenly distributed across the six-person sample.
3 buyers also purchased MSFT and AMD
Among these VZ buyers, three also bought MSFT and three also bought AMD. Two also purchased each of ON, PODD, WMT and CINF. These overlaps identify shared holdings only; the supplied data does not establish matching trade dates, amounts or motives.
Congressional disclosures can appear with a 45-day reporting lag, so transaction dates and public availability may differ. Disclosed dollar amounts are reported as ranges, making any amount-based totals estimates. Those limitations, together with the small trader sample, constrain conclusions about timing, scale and intent.

CapitolRadar signal history
NEW PICK 2026-10-13
Rep. Gilbert Cisneros disclosed buying $1,001–$15,000 of Verizon stock, with one other tracked congressional buyer in the prior 45 days. The panel passed because Cisneros has no verified trading record, so the purchase is an unproven signal despite the small cluster. A verified history showing his past trades consistently outperformed SPY would have been the strongest evidence to change the verdict.
NEW PICK 2026-10-12
Rep. Ro Khanna disclosed buying $15,001–$50,000 of Verizon stock. The panel passed mainly because he has no verified trading history against the S&P 500, so this buyer signal is unproven. A reliable record showing that his past purchases consistently outperformed the market would have strengthened the case enough to reconsider the verdict.
