This sale occurred through a joint account. The STOCK Act of 2012 mandates that members of Congress disclose stock transactions within 30 days to promote transparency and prevent insider trading.

The upcoming earnings report for PepsiCo is set for April 21, 2026, with an estimated EPS of $1.61 and revenue of $18.8 billion. Investors should consider congressional trading disclosures as one of many factors in their decision-making processes, rather than as standalone indicators of stock performance.
Late reporting of this transaction could result in penalties of up to $200 for the first occurrence and $50,000 for subsequent violations. Research on congressional trading activity shows mixed results regarding its predictive value for stock performance, making it essential for investors to analyze broader trends across various representatives and sectors.
