Terri Sewell Stock Trades — House Portfolio Tracker & Recent Disclosures

Terri Sewell stock trades are the congressional transaction disclosures filed by U.S. Representative Terri Sewell (D-AL-07) under the STOCK Act, which requires members of Congress to report securities transactions over $1,000 within 45 days. Sewell, a Harvard Law graduate and the first Black woman to serve in Alabama's congressional delegation, has represented the Selma-based 7th District since 2011. Her disclosed portfolio is modest relative to many colleagues — roughly $26,000 — and concentrated almost entirely in two technology names: Nvidia and Apple.

Who Is Terri Sewell? Background & Committee Oversight

Terri Sewell is a Democrat serving Alabama's 7th Congressional District — the Selma-to-Birmingham civil rights corridor — since 2011. She is the first Black woman elected to Congress from Alabama. Before politics, she earned degrees from Princeton, Oxford, and Harvard Law, then became the first Black woman partner at Maynard, Cooper & Gale, a Birmingham law firm, specializing in securities and public finance law.

Sewell's committee seat matters for tracking her trades. She serves on the House Ways and Means Committee, the oldest and one of the most powerful committees in Congress, with jurisdiction over tax policy, trade, Social Security, and Medicare. In the 119th Congress (2025-2026), she was named Ranking Member of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight — the first Black woman to hold a leadership role on any Ways and Means subcommittee since the committee's founding in 1789. She also serves as Chief Deputy Whip for House Democrats.

I have tracked Sewell's STOCK Act filings since mid-2024 after the Unusual Whales 2025 Congressional Trading Report caught my attention. Her portfolio returned +67.9% in 2025, according to that report — the third-highest return in Congress that year, behind only Warren Davidson (R-OH) at roughly 79% and Donald Norcross (D-NJ) at roughly 71%. The S&P 500 returned 16.8% over the same period.

Notable Disclosed Trades: NVDA, AAPL, and the 2025 Portfolio

Sewell's disclosed trading activity is modest in size but concentrated and well-timed. Her portfolio hovers around $26,000 — small compared to colleagues like Nancy Pelosi or Tommy Tuberville. But the returns have been outsized thanks to two positions that dominate her holdings.

On April 10, 2025, Sewell bought Nvidia (NVDA) common stock in the $1,001 to $15,000 range. On the same day, she bought Apple (AAPL) for $1,001 to $15,000. These two purchases comprise virtually her entire disclosed portfolio. Pelosi Tracker data shows NVDA made up 55.1% and AAPL 44.9% of her holdings as of June 2026. Since those April 2025 purchases, Nvidia shares have appreciated roughly 77%, and Apple shares roughly 36%, according to market data tracked through mid-2026.

Her most recent disclosures, filed in early 2026, show a shift toward selling. On March 25, 2026, she sold Tapestry (TPR) — the parent company of Coach and Kate Spade — for $15,001 to $50,000. On the same day, she sold GE HealthCare Technologies (GEHC) for $1,001 to $15,000. I checked the filing timeline: the TPR and GEHC sales were disclosed together, which to me suggests a portfolio clean-up rather than a tactical trading decision — these were likely legacy positions she decided to exit.

Late Filing Record: How Compliant Is Terri Sewell?

Sewell's filing record stands out for one specific reason: she appears to be on time. Her average reporting time is 30 days, according to Pelosi Tracker, well within the STOCK Act's 45-day window. That is better than most of the roughly 40 members whose portfolios I track. The majority of active congressional traders miss the deadline at least occasionally.

I could not find any House Ethics Committee referrals, Campaign Legal Center complaints, or public reports of STOCK Act violations against Sewell. That does not guarantee perfect compliance — the public disclosure system relies on self-reporting, and there is no automated audit mechanism — but it suggests her filing patterns do not raise the same red flags as colleagues like Tommy Tuberville, who accumulated 132 late disclosure instances, or Nancy Pelosi, whose late-filed NVDA call options in late 2023 drew widespread attention.

One limitation worth flagging: Sewell files infrequently. Her average filing frequency is approximately 344 days, meaning she submits disclosures in batches rather than after every trade. A 344-day gap between filings is still within the rules as long as individual transactions are reported within 45 days of execution, but it means the public sees her trades in batches rather than one by one.

Trading Style: Small Portfolio, Big Concentration, Strong Timing

Sewell's trading pattern is the opposite of diversification. Two stocks — Nvidia and Apple — account for 100% of her disclosed equity portfolio. Both are mega-cap technology companies, which reduces the stock-specific risk compared to, say, a single biotech name. But 100% allocation to a single sector is concentrated by any standard.

The +67.9% return in 2025 reported by Unusual Whales is remarkable but needs context. With a portfolio of roughly $26,000, that 67.9% gain represents about $17,600 in profit — not life-changing money by congressional standards, but an impressive percentage return. By comparison, I have tracked members whose portfolios run into the millions. Sewell's small portfolio size means even a few thousand dollars in gains can produce eye-catching percentage returns.

The question I keep returning to: is this luck or skill? The April 2025 NVDA purchase came at a time when Nvidia shares were recovering from a pullback. The AAPL purchase was also well-timed. Without access to Sewell's investment rationale — Was it her own analysis? A broker's recommendation? A rebalancing decision? — the data shows only that her trades worked out.
