How Nancy Pelosi’s Stocks Have Performed Under Donald Trump
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, has seen considerable growth in a number of stocks over the years, but the stocks have mostly remained flat or declined since President Donald Trump began his second term.
The Pelosis have a number of stock holdings in Nancy’s husband Paul’s name. The stocks, which are largely in the technology space, have not seen much growth since Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
As stock owners and multimillionaires abound in Congress, fears of insider trading and conflicts of interest have lingered.
Pelosi is estimated have made millions over the years through the stock market.
However, amid this stock market activity, some critics worry that lawmakers could have an unfair ability to control legislation that would have a direct impact on their financial situations.
Pelosi has a large number of stock holdings managed by husband Paul Pelosi. They bought and sold shares of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks, Tempus AI and Vistra Corp, among others, in January and December.
Apple stock grew from about $222 per share to $238 since Trump’s inauguration, and Tempus AI grew from roughly $47 to $50.
However, much of the Pelosis’ stock portfolio did not experience gains over the past couple months. Alphabet declined from $199 to $168, while Amazon fell from $230 to $205. Tech company NVIDIA went from $140 to about $114.
Palo Alto Networks stock stayed roughly the same at $183 since January 20.
But compared to the price of some of the stocks when purchased, there has been significant earnings.
Pelosi has between $50,001 and $100,000 in Tempus AI Class A stock that Paul purchased January 14, according to her financial disclosures. The stock was bought at $31.83 and has grown in value to more than $50.
Pelosi also sold NVIDIA stock just weeks before it lost more than 15 percent of its value in a single day.
The portfolio has grown by 700 percent since 2014, according to data platform Quiver Quantitative, and her net worth is about $261 million.
Ian Krager, spokesperson for Nancy Pelosi, previously told Newsweek: “Speaker Pelosi does not own any stocks, and she has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions.”
Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez previously said in a statement: “Members of Congress should not be allowed to buy and sell individual stock. We are here to serve the public, not to profiteer.”
Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: “The amount of money Nancy Pelosi has made on some more lucrative stock purchases is well into the millions in terms of dollars and has rightfully caused concerns from those on both sides of the political aisle…In fact, her trades have become so widely known, it’s possible just the knowledge she’s investing in a company could cause its price to surge. While most of her purchases have seen a rise in the early days of the new administration, it’s also important to note many of these stocks are big tech companies like NVIDIA and Apple that have a solid record of growth regardless of who has power in D.C.”
Michael Ryan, a finance expert and the founder of MichaelRyanMoney.com, told Newsweek: “As for Trump’s impact on her stocks, those tariffs he put on China and other trading partners definitely shook things up. See how volatile the market is getting again today? Those policies probably contributed to why Amazon underperformed for her during that period.”
Kevin Thompson, a finance expert and the founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group, told Newsweek: “The majority of Pelosi’s stock holdings have been flat or declining since Trump took office. This reflects uncertainty in the broader economy and the impact of Trump’s heavy-handed policies. The key question is whether these stocks will see a boost if the TCJA [Tax Cut and Jobs Act] is expanded and how much corporate tax rates, if at all, will decrease.”
Members of Congress are required to disclose their financial transactions, and about half are estimated to be millionaires. Because of some public officials outperforming the stock market, some lawmakers have proposed legislation that would ban Congress members and their spouses and dependent children from owning or trading stocks.
In July 2024, Senators Josh Hawley, Chairman Gary Peters, Jon Ossoff, Jeff Merkley and Jacky Rosen passed bipartisan legislation out of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) to ban stock ownership and trading for sitting members of Congress, but it has not advanced past that point.
“There should be stricter provisions limiting political figures’ ability to trade stocks, given their access to privileged information before it becomes public,” Thompson said. “I’ve also noticed some powerful organizations aligning with Trump, despite previously opposing him—many of which were visibly represented at his inauguration.”

Former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is regarded as one of the most corrupt politicians in American politics, but a recent guest on Tucker Carlson’s podcast revealed that she is even MORE corrupt than anybody knows and it left Tucker in utter disbelief.
The guest was a man named Chris Josephs, who created the “Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker” X account which monitors Pelosi’s stock trades that, with the help of a little insider trading, consistently outperform the best traders in the world by quite some margin.
Josephs revealed that since 2012 alone, Pelosi’s net worth has skyrocketed from $20 million to upwards of $260 million – which is more than a 10x return… for a politician…
He went on to cite one specific example, saying that right after President Joe Biden got “elected” at the end of 2020, Pelosi spent $5 million to buy ultra-high-risk Tesla options contracts. She then played a big part in enacting a massive electric vehicle subsidy program through the Inflation Reduction Act which was guaranteed to send Tesla’s stock flying.
Another huge Pelosi trade came in 2022 when she purchased stock in chip-manufacturer Nvidia… just months before Congress passed the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 which gave nearly $300 billion in subsidies to companies LIKE NVIDIA.
Pelosi represents EVERYTHING that’s wrong with US politicians. These people seek out power just to benefit themselves and pass laws which will help them make a quick buck.
Watch the video here to see how Pelosi is even worse than we thought.

Nancy Pelosi should be in prison along with all of the other corrupt politicians, Republican and Democrat. They don’t stand for this nation. They don’t care about the people of the United States. They’re corrupt.
Sadly it’s all lip service without factual documents to prove otherwise..unlike MS. M.Stewart who did minor jail time
