A new Periodic Transaction Report filed with the U.S. House of Representatives shows that Hon. Julia Letlow purchased shares of Apple Inc. (AAPL) common stock on January 31, 2025. The transaction was made personally by the member of Congress and is valued at between $1,001 and $15,000, according to the disclosed amount range. The holding is reported through a Merrill Lynch Investment Account, identified in the filing as Account #025.
Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress are required to publicly disclose stock transactions within 45 days of execution. This filing, however, was submitted 192 days after the January 31 purchase date, well past that statutory window. The disclosure does not include any explanation for the delay, and none is offered here — the filing simply confirms that the transaction occurred and that the report arrived late.
What the Filing Shows
The report classifies this transaction as a straightforward purchase of a widely held technology stock. Apple remains one of the most commonly traded names among members of Congress across both parties, appearing frequently in periodic transaction reports filed with the House and Senate. Because the disclosure only provides a value range rather than an exact dollar figure, the precise size of the purchase is not publicly known — only that it falls between $1,001 and $15,000.
Our internal classification tags this filing as a ‘congress buy’ signal, meaning it reflects an acquisition of shares rather than a sale or exchange. That classification is based solely on the transaction type reported in the filing and does not reflect any judgment about the merits of the trade or Apple stock generally.
A Pattern of Late Filings
This is not the first time a Letlow AAPL disclosure has surfaced well outside the 45-day reporting window. As previously reported by whoisbuyingnow.com, Rep. Julia Letlow Discloses AAPL Purchase, Filed 292 Days Late, an earlier Apple transaction that also cleared the disclosure deadline by a wide margin. Taken together, the two filings show a recurring gap between when trades are executed and when they are formally reported to the public, though the STOCK Act itself does not specify penalties tied to the length of a delay beyond the disclosure requirement.
Apple stock continues to draw regular attention from lawmakers’ portfolios, and periodic transaction reports involving the company are common across Capitol Hill. This filing adds one more entry to that broader record, documenting a personal AAPL purchase by Rep. Letlow and the extended timeline before it became public.
