Paul Pelosi Bought Up to $6 Million in Intel and Uber Call Options, Filings Show

Granting the right to buy 20,000 shares per company at a $50 strike expiring March 19, 2027, the trades have renewed scrutiny of congressional stock trading.

Overview

  • Congressional disclosure forms show Paul Pelosi executed the option purchases on May 29, 2026 and signed disclosures covering those trades on June 23, 2026.
  • The filings list 200 call option contracts for each company, with each contract covering 100 shares and therefore creating the right to buy 20,000 shares of Intel and 20,000 shares of Uber at a $50 strike price that expires March 19, 2027.
  • The combined disclosed value of the positions is reported between $1 million and $6 million, with the Intel leg reported as the larger portion and the Uber leg reported as smaller in some filings.
  • Because Intel was trading near $129 and Uber near $70 at the time of reporting, the $50 strike is described in coverage as well below market and the contracts are therefore “in the money,” which reduces the chance they expire worthless but raises questions about timing and premium paid.
  • The trades sit inside a Pelosi household portfolio reported at more than $40 million and they have intensified calls for tighter rules on lawmakers’ investments, including renewed attention to proposals such as the HONEST Act that have not become law.
