Nancy Pelosi filed a congressional disclosure showing her husband Paul Pelosi purchased call options on Intel and Uber in late May 2026. The total value of the trades sits between $1 million and $6 million.
Paul Pelosi bought 200 call options on each stock. Each contract covers 100 shares, giving him the right to buy 20,000 shares of Intel and 20,000 shares of Uber. Both positions carry a strike price of $50, with an expiration date of March 19, 2027.

Call options give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to purchase shares at a set price. The buyer pays a premium upfront instead of buying the full shares outright. It is a strategy often used to gain leveraged exposure to a stock.
Intel has been one of the standout performers in the market this year. The stock has climbed more than 250% year-to-date and is currently trading around $129.
That rise has been fueled by progress in Intel’s foundry business under CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who took over in March 2025. The company has shown better manufacturing yields on advanced chips, positioning it as a domestic alternative to overseas producers like Taiwan Semiconductor.
CNBC’s Jim Cramer recently named Intel his top AI chip stock. He pointed to a shift in AI data centers, where the ratio of CPUs to GPUs is expected to move from 1-to-8 toward 1-to-1, which would benefit Intel’s core CPU business.
Because Paul Pelosi’s $50 strike price is well below Intel’s current trading price, the options are considered “in the money.” That means he likely paid a higher premium, but the position carries less risk of expiring worthless.
Uber has been more stable than Intel this year. Shares are currently trading just below $70, which also puts Pelosi’s $50 strike price comfortably in the money.
The Pelosi family currently has more than $40 million invested across various stocks. Their portfolio includes positions in Amazon, Google, Nvidia, and Apple.
The family’s returns have historically beaten the S&P 500 and have even outpaced Warren Buffett’s track record in some periods. Nancy Pelosi’s estimated net worth stands at $234 million.
The latest disclosures were signed on June 23, covering transactions made on May 29. Members of Congress are required to report trades within 45 days.
Congressional stock trading continues to attract criticism. Over 400 current members of Congress are actively trading stocks.
Research has shown that members of Congress tend to outperform the broader market. A New York Times investigation found that between 2019 and 2021, over half of the members who traded stocks sat on committees overseeing those same companies.
The HONEST Act, which would restrict federal lawmakers from trading individual stocks, has passed a Senate committee but has not yet become law. Pelosi herself backed the bill.
Nancy Pelosi has announced she will not seek re-election, ending nearly 40 years in Congress.
