Congress trades in American Express (AXP)
14 of the members we track disclosed 24 purchases of AXP between 2021-11-10 and 2026-05-08, and 19 sales. Here is what the stock did afterwards.
Every purchase is measured over the three months after the transaction date, against XLF — the ETF standing in for Financials — over exactly the same dates. The second figure is the one that carries information: the first mostly reflects what the sector did. How AXP was classified.
How these buys are tagged
American Express is a mega-cap, so a committee-aligned purchase here is tagged Aligned (Mega-cap) rather than Notable: owning a company this size says little about committee access. 15 are marked Cluster: A buy is marked Cluster when at least one other tracked member of Congress bought the same stock within 30 days of it, regardless of committee membership.

Prices are the closing price on the transaction date, not what was paid: filings never disclose an execution price. Blank figures mean the window has not elapsed yet. Sales are not scored — a sale closes a position rather than opening one — so the 19 disclosed sales of AXP are not in this table.
Download the data behind this page, or read how every figure is calculated. Trades in AXP are a small part of the full rankings, which score each member across everything they bought.
