Recent stock trades made by a senator could show conflicts of interest given his committee assignments and ramp up the call to ban members of Congress from being able to buy and sell stocks.
Here's a look at the recent stock trades made by Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.).
What Happened: Mullin recently bought stock in several stocks, while also selling a position in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500. The trades are shown on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/markwayne-mullin">Benzinga Government Trades page.</a>
According to a recent disclosure, Mullin bought the following stocks on May 13:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Chevron Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>): $50,000 to $100,000</li>
<li>ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>LPL Financial Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPLA#NASDAQ">LPLA</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>L3 Harris Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LHX#NYSE">LHX</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>): $50,000 to $100,000</li>
<li>Zoetis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZTS#NYSE">ZTS</a>): $50,000 to $100,000</li>
</ul>
In the same disclosure, Mullin also reported selling $500,000 to $1 million worth of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust.
He reportedly bought between $285,000 and $750,000 in new stock positions, along with total transactions ranging from $785,000 to $1.75 million.
One of the most active stock traders in the Senate, Benzinga shows 325 trades worth $8.47 million, and Quiver Quant <a href="https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Markwayne%20Mullin-M001190">shows </a>$15.5 million in trades from Mullin in recent years.
His net worth is listed by Quiver Quant at $65.7 million, with part of the wealth coming from selling businesses before becoming a Congressman from 2013 to 2023 and later a Senator since 2023.
The Senator's purchase of L3 Harris Technologies could raise red flags, given that it is a large defense stock and Mullin <a href="https://www.senate.gov/general/committee_assignments/assignments.htm#MullinOK">sits </a>on the Committee on Armed Services.
The purchase of oil stocks also involves Mullin, who belongs to the Subcommittee on the Department of Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies.
The Republican senator is on numerous committees and could have inside information about government policy and contracts while making his stock transactions.
Mullin denied past conflicts of interest when he owned shares of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and was set to vote on a potential TikTok ban, which could help Meta.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Mullin's latest trades come as a call to ban members of Congress from buying and selling stocks and options is gaining support.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/45077654/bill-named-after-nancy-pelosi-could-ban-congress-members-from-trading-stocks-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-pelosi-act" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> introduced the</a> Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act, based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at Congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Pelosi, whose husband is a frequent stock trader and venture capitalist, likely doesn&#8217;t support the bill that would limit her husband's transactions while she&#8217;s in office.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.), also in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/05/45449720/speaker-johnson-backs-congressional-stock-trading-ban-ruined-by-a-few-bad-actors">favor of a ban</a>, said there is zero tolerance for &#8220;anything resembling insider trading.&#8221;
President Donald Trump recently said he would support such a ban and that he would sign the bill if Congress passed it
"Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it," Trump told TIME.
Benzinga<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/05/45552223/exclusive-congress-trading-ban-sees-huge-support-in-reader-poll-heres-the-percent-that-say-let-them-keep-trading-stocks"> recently polled readers</a> to see where they stand on a potential ban on Congress trading.
&#8220;Should members of Congress be allowed to buy and sell stocks, options and ETFs?&#8221; Benzinga asked.
These were the results:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>They should not be allowed to trade stocks, options or ETFs:&nbsp;43%</li>
<li>They should be allowed to trade as long as they report within 24 hours:&nbsp;24%</li>
<li>They should only be allowed to trade ETFs and mutual funds:&nbsp;14%</li>
<li>They should be allowed to trade as long as they report in 45 days: 11%</li>
<li>They should only be allowed to trade stocks: 8%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that 43% of readers support an outright ban on members of Congress being able to trade stocks, options, or ETFs. Eleven percent voted that the current rules should be left alone with a 45-day disclosure window.

Assessing Texas Instruments: Insights From 19 Financial Analysts

Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya on Monday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tech-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recapped takeaways from</a> a tech conference in which 27 companies attended.
Representatives from the following companies attended: Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>); Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>); Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>); Marvell Tech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>); Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>); Coherent (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>); Lumentum Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>); ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>); Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>); Synopsys (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>); and Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>); KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>); and Applied Materials (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>).
Arya noted that the overall tone was positive across computing and networking for GPU (Nvidia and AMD) and ASIC (Marvell) vendors.
He maintains Nvidia with a Buy rating with a $180 price target. Nvidia remains best positioned to benefit from the ongoing AI tide, supported by a multi-year lead in performance (AI scaling), pipeline, incumbency, scale, and developer support, he adds.
Also, the company&#8217;s rack-scale systems are in full production and overall AI demand continues to rise for inference reasoning and sovereign AI.

Arm also expects a continued 50% server CPU deployment share this year, Arya said.
Arya raised his price target on Arm to $150 (from $135) on the continued proliferation (market share gain) of Arm-based CPUs in the data center, above peers, though justified by Arm&#8217;s superior growth profile, sticky Licensing business, and expanding Royalty rates.
Concerns about tariff-related pull-ins remain at Intel for PCs. Still, AMD continues to see strong sell-through in the second quarter, aided by higher-ASP new products, and could even see seasonal second-half strength, the analyst said.
Arya said Lam Research, KLA Corp, and Applied Materials indicated strong momentum in leading-edge F/L and advanced DRAM WFE this year, which is helping to offset weakness in China and trailing-edge spending to sustain mid-single-digit Y/Y growth in calendar 2025.
The analyst said KLA Corp also suggested that mid-single-digit Y/Y WFE growth in calendar 2026 could be a plausible assumption led by strong 2nm/GAA investments.
Lam Research noted NAND upgrades in the early stages across multiple customers inside a $40 billion multi-year opportunity, Arya said. Crucially, all vendors suggested China is &#8220;de-risked&#8221; this year despite recent restriction noise and can settle at 25%- 30% of sales, the analyst noted.
Arya raised his Lam Research price target to $100 (from $90), which was justified by improving NAND prospects as a leading-edge foundry/logic, and advanced DRAM (DDR5/HBM) remained strong.
The analyst raised his price target on KLA Corp to $900 (from $825), given increasing leading-edge F/L ramp visibility, advanced packaging TAM expansion, and best-in-class profitability.
He raised his Lumentum price target to $78 (from $70), justified by broad-based strength in the data center.
Arya raised his On Semiconductor price target to $60 (from $55), which was justified following management calling the second-quarter auto bottom with broad-based recovery across auto and industrial expected in the second half.

Expert Outlook: Texas Instruments Through The Eyes Of 15 Analysts

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
