A new congressional stock trading record form submitted by Nancy Pelosi, a US congresswoman with the moniker "Stock God of Capitol Hill," shows that she significantly increased her holdings of equity derivatives in Alphabet Inc. Class C (GOOGL.US), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN.US), and several other large US tech giants at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, as well as choosing to allocate new funds to Tempus AI (TEM.US) and Vistra Energy (VST.US), two "new forces in AI investment" that have also benefitted greatly from the AI investment boom. According to the congressional document, Congresswoman Pelosi, representing California's 11th district, purchased 50 call options tracking Alphabet Inc. Class C with a strike price of $150, expiring on January 16, 2026, with a holdings value between $250,001 and $500,000. This transaction took place on January 14, 2025. She also purchased 50 call options tracking Amazon.com, Inc. stock, with the same strike price of $150 and expiry date of January 16, 2026, with a holdings value between $250,001 and $500,000. This transaction also took place on January 14, 2025. Undoubtedly, Alphabet Inc. Class C and Amazon.com, Inc., the two major US tech giants, have been the biggest winners of the unparalleled "AI investment wave" since 2023. Alphabet Inc. Class C has been a leader in the generative AI field since 2023, with its Gemini large model constantly integrating into various edge applications and developers leveraging Alphabet Inc. Class C's cloud to develop enterprise or consumer AI applications. Amazon.com, Inc., with a market value of $2.4 trillion, has seen its stock price reach record highs since 2024, with a 50% increase in 2024 alone. AWS, Amazon.com, Inc.'s cloud computing sector, leads the market in cloud computing, attracting a large number of enterprise customers with its low-tech development model for AI applications. On the other hand, Apple Inc., which has not been able to leverage Apple Intelligence to boost iPhone sales, has been dumped by "Stock God of Capitol Hill" Pelosi. Observers in the market say that Pelosi's logic in buying Apple Inc. was based on the expectation that AI would drive a new wave of "iPhone upgrades." However, the latest sales data shows that Apple Intelligence has not boosted sales, and the lack of a local partner for Apple Intelligence in the Chinese market has led to a significant decline in iPhone sales in China. Therefore, Pelosi no longer sees Apple Inc. as a beneficiary of the AI boom. Congressional statistics show that Pelosi sold 31,600 shares of Apple Inc. (AAPL.US) on December 31, 2024, with the sale amount in the range of $5 million to $25 million. Pelosi also adjusted her holdings in NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US), the "AI chip leader" and one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI investment boom. She sold 10,000 shares on December 31, 2024, with the sale amount between $1 million and $5 million. However, she also exercised 500 call options on December 20, 2024, purchased at a strike price of $12 on November 22, 2023, with an expiry date of December 20, 2024. Pelosi also purchased NVIDIA Corporation stock worth between $250,000 and $500,000 on January 14, 2025, highlighting her confidence in the future performance and stock price growth potential of the AI chip leader, although her holdings have begun to lean slightly towards caution. Three "new forces" benefiting from the AI investment boom receive approval from the "Stock God of Capitol Hill" The 84-year-old congresswoman also bought shares in Palo Alto Networks (PANW.US), an important player in the cybersecurity field, with a cumulative purchase value between $1 million and $5 million. In the epic wave of global corporate AI technology deployment, US stock market cybersecurity giants are also focusing on integrating revolutionary generative AI technology with cybersecurity technology, which may be one of the core drivers pushing companies to increase their subscriptions to cybersecurity services. Palo Alto, one of the "AI bull stocks," widely applies generative AI and other advanced AI technologies in the cybersecurity field to enhance threat detection and response capabilities. The company focuses on low-tech operations.The "AI+ network security service" with low thresholds and efficient integration of various professional modules has won praise from the vast majority of customers. Precision AI integrates various professional modules of Palo Alto Networks, such as Strata, Prisma, and Cortex, and uses generative AI to automatically coordinate the operations of these modules.The latest statistics from Congress show that Pelosi has chosen to buy shares of the medical technology company Tempus AI (TEM.US), which focuses on "artificial intelligence + healthcare". The cumulative purchase value ranges from $50,001 to $100,000. Tempus AI is a company focused on driving medical development through technology, particularly with significant influence in the areas of cancer treatment and personalized medical technology. The technological platform combines generative artificial intelligence (generative AI), machine learning (ML), genomics, and clinical data analysis to advance the field of precision medicine. Tempus AI focuses on combining genomic data with clinical data, using artificial intelligence and big data analysis to provide personalized treatment plans. After the news of Pelosi's purchase of Tempus AI came out, the stock surged over 20% in pre-market trading. Benefiting from the AI investment boom, the giant American Electric Power Company, Inc. favored by "Congressional Stock God" Pelosi, has accumulated purchases ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000, with different purchase dates. As AI applications like ChatGPT sweep the globe, the energy demand of major data centers around the world is so huge that some utility stocks that have long been overlooked by the market have entered the sights of top Wall Street investment institutions this year. The global demand for AI training/inference closely related to AI computing power is accelerating, and the demand for power resources by data centers, which are already "power-hungry beasts", is expected to continue to surge in the coming years. Behind the exponential expansion of energy-intensive AI data centers driven by the demand for AI chips, is the core foundation of power supply, which is the origin of the market viewpoint that "AI ends with electricity." The giant Vistra of American Electric Power Company, Inc. has been the best-performing component stock in the S&P 500 index since 2024, with a surge of 265%, surpassing even NVIDIA Corporation's surge of 170% in 2024. The more impressive rise of Palantir was only included in the S&P 500 index in September. Vistra's revenue scale has grown significantly since 2024 due to the large-scale data centers that consume a massive amount of electricity. With some government agencies and American tech giants committing to invest more in the field of artificial intelligence next year, especially in building and expanding energy-hungry data centers, the prospects for power and other infrastructure providers look very optimistic. Data centers are undoubtedly the most core large-scale infrastructure projects of the AI era, essential for the efficient operation of generative AI applications like ChatGPT, and the updating iterations of AI large models like GPT-4o. Why is Pelosi called the "Congressional Stock God"? Pelosi's latest stock market transaction data is the first time since July 2024, when she revealed that she had significantly increased her holdings of NVIDIA Corporation and sold some shares of Microsoft Corporation (MSFT.US). Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, are considered to have very precise investment decisions in the stock market. For example, the Pelosi family has earned considerable returns on certain tech stocks (such as Tesla, Inc., Apple Inc., etc.) and other stocks. It has been reported in the media that the Pelosi family has made very advantageous trades in some stocks, especially those involving companies related to the policies she leads as Speaker. For instance, the Pelosi family bought Tesla, Inc. stock in 2021, just before Tesla, Inc. stock price started to soar. Pelosi's investment behavior has raised questions about conflicts of interest. As the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Pelosi has access to a significant amount of non-public policy information, especially in the areas of government investments, legislation, and regulation of tech companies. This has made her investment actions the subject of public and media scrutiny, leading to discussions about whether she has used insider information for investment. Therefore, titles like "Congressional Stock God" also carry potential conflicts of interest when public figures engage in stock market operations, as well as questions about investment transparency in the U.S. Congress.
