A Seven-Figure Intel Purchase Hits a Historic Crash
A House periodic transaction report reveals the purchases. The disclosure lawmakers must file when they or family members trade securities shows Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, bought shares of Intel valued at $500,001 to $1,000,000, plus Intel options valued at $250,001 to $500,000. Both trades are dated July 24, and the filing was submitted August 21, 2026. Combined, that's a position worth up to $1.5 million.
Intel closed at $92.32 on the purchase date. On October 30, it plunged roughly 30% in one session after warning that the PC slump would drag into next year, its worst single-day drop since 1974. The stock closed that day at $65.76 and fell another 8.55% Monday to $60.14.
