HD congressional disclosures matter to retail disclosure researchers because Home Depot is a widely held consumer and housing-cycle name that still shows up in both House and Senate Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs)—often as portfolio trimming rather than a single “macro bet.” In the last 90 days, ProBors shows mostly sales filed between mid-July and early October 2026, plus one recent purchase, with filing lag from same-day to about five weeks on typical rows. This spotlight walks through recent Home Depot PTR lines, cross-chamber context, and what the table does not prove. It is research context, not investment advice.
Why Home Depot appears in congress trackers
Home Depot sits in diversified equity portfolios and sector ETFs, so PTR activity on HD is common without implying housing-policy foresight. Useful questions on the ticker are narrow:
- Which members filed Home Depot activity in the last 90 days?
- Was each row a purchase, sale, or partial sale?
- How many days passed between the transaction date and the public filing date?
- Do multiple trade dates share one filing date (batch disclosures)?
- Does Senate activity look different from House filings on the same symbol?
A ticker spotlight should answer those fields from source-backed rows, then let you decide whether chart or insider context is worth a second pass.
Recent HD filings in ProBors
The table below reflects Home Depot PTR rows in ProBors as of October 5, 2026, sorted by filing date (newest first). Filing lag is calendar days between the transaction date and the filed date as reported in ProBors. Rows are deduplicated on politician, transaction type, dates, amount, and chamber.
| Politician | Type | Traded | Filed | Lag (days) | Amount range | Chamber |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| David J. Taylor | Purchase | 09/22/2026 | 10/01/2026 | 9 | $1,001 – $15,000 | House |
| Kevin Hern | Sale | 09/14/2026 | 09/15/2026 | 1 | $15,001 – $50,000 | House |
| Kevin Hern | Sale (Partial) | 08/31/2026 | 09/15/2026 | 15 | $15,001 – $50,000 | House |
| Kevin Hern | Sale (Partial) | 08/24/2026 | 08/27/2026 | 3 | $50,001 – $100,000 | House |
| John Boozman | Sale | 07/09/2026 | 08/17/2026 | 39 | $1,001 – $15,000 | Senate |
| Richard Dean McCormick | Sale | 07/30/2026 | 08/12/2026 | 13 | $1,001 – $15,000 | House |
| James A. Himes | Sale | 07/20/2026 | 07/20/2026 | 0 | $15,001 – $50,000 | House |
| Alan Armstrong | Sale | 03/27/2026 | 07/21/2026 | 116 | $15,001 – $50,000 | Senate |
Snapshot summary (filed since early July 2026): 13 deduplicated HD PTR rows in this window—1 purchase and 12 sales; 10 House and 3 Senate. Median filing lag on routine rows with 2026 transaction dates in this window: 9 days (range 0–39 days). ProBors lists additional Kevin Hern partial sales on Home Depot filed on September 15, 2026 that share that filing date with earlier August and September trade dates—worth opening the original PTR when you need line-by-line detail.

Cross-chamber patterns worth noting
Three patterns stand out in this Home Depot sample—and none of them are trading signals on their own.
1. One purchase amid a sales-heavy quarter
Rep. David J. Taylor filed an HD purchase on October 1, 2026, while most other rows in this window are sales or partial sales. Direction alone does not resolve a narrative; mega-cap and consumer names can show offsetting member activity in the same month.
2. Batch filings can stack several trade dates
Kevin Hern filed multiple Home Depot sales and partial sales with a September 15, 2026 filing date, covering trade dates from late August through mid-September. That pattern is why congressional research needs both traded and filed columns—see how to compare filing date vs transaction date.
3. Senate rows are fewer but can carry longer lag
Sen. John Boozman’s July sale filed in mid-August shows a 39-day gap. Sen. Alan Armstrong’s row is an outlier: a March 2026 transaction date with a July 2026 filing—verify the Senate eFD PDF before treating it like a fresh July trade.

How to research HD on ProBors
Use a ticker-first workflow when Home Depot is on your watchlist:
- Open Market → HD (or search
HDin the dashboard). - Scroll to the Congress trades table and sort by filed date.
- Click a row for transaction type, amount range, chamber, and signal tier.
- Toggle congress markers on the price chart to see where disclosures landed relative to daily bars.
- Filter by chamber when you want Senate-only or House-only lines on the same ticker.
- Cross-check Form 4 / whale activity on HD before treating a PTR row as isolated.
For chart markers, see the market chart congress markers guide. For cross-chamber habits, see how to research a ticker across House and Senate.
What this HD data does not prove
A congressional disclosure table on Home Depot does not prove:
- That members traded on non-public information
- That HD will rise or fall because a PTR was filed
- Exact share counts or dollar proceeds (ranges are bands, not precise fills)
- Real-time intent—many rows posted days or weeks after the transaction date
- Housing, retail, or rate-policy outcomes tied to a single trade line
PTR data is a public transparency record, not a timing edge. The useful output is a verified trail: who filed, what type, when it traded, when it became public, and how that row compares to other disclosures on the same ticker.
FAQ
How active is Home Depot in congressional PTRs compared with other consumer names?
Volume follows member portfolios, not store traffic. In ProBors, HD in this 90-day window is sales-heavy with one recent purchase—similar “rebalance” texture to other large-cap staples. For peer context, see PG congressional disclosures explained and track congress stock trades by ticker.
Why does Kevin Hern show several HD rows with the same filing date?
Multiple transaction dates can roll into one PTR filing. In this sample, several Hern partial sales list September 15, 2026 as the filed date while trade dates span late August and early September. Open the underlying House disclosure to confirm each line.
What is a typical filing lag for recent HD disclosures?
Among rows with 2026 transaction dates filed since early July 2026, median lag in ProBors is about 9 days, with a low of 0 days (James A. Himes) and 39 days on Sen. John Boozman’s sale—excluding the March-dated Senate outlier above.
Can I filter HD to sales only or Senate only?
Yes. On ProBors, filter congressional trades by ticker, transaction type, and chamber. The trades tab guide covers sort and filter habits.
Does a congressional Home Depot sale mean corporate insiders also sold?
Not necessarily. PTRs and SEC Form 4 filings follow different rules and timelines. Keep congress rows and insider rows in separate lanes—see how to combine congress and insider research.
