Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) has disclosed a sale of Walt Disney Company (DIS) stock, according to a Periodic Transaction Report filed under the STOCK Act. The transaction, dated August 10, 2026, was made through a jointly-held account tied to the Hern Family Revocable Trust, which the congressman holds together with his spouse. The disclosure lists the transaction value in the $15,001 to $50,000 range, the standard bracket used for STOCK Act filings rather than an exact dollar figure.
The filing is one of many periodic disclosures required of members of Congress and their immediate families whenever a reportable securities transaction occurs. It does not indicate any wrongdoing, nor does it suggest that Hern or his spouse had access to nonpublic information about Disney. STOCK Act filings simply create a public record of trades made by lawmakers, their spouses, and dependent children, and this report falls squarely within that routine disclosure framework.
A Notable Timing Overlap
What makes this filing worth flagging is its proximity to another disclosed sale of the same stock. Company insider Brent Woodford also sold DIS shares, in a transaction dated August 14, 2026, valued at $761,510. That sale falls within 30 days of the Hern family’s reported transaction, placing two separate DIS sales — one from a member of Congress’s family trust and one from a company insider — on the public record within a short window of each other. Whoisbuyingnow.com tracks this kind of overlap because it can be a useful signal for readers following broader trading patterns around a given stock, even though the two transactions are unrelated in any confirmed way and were filed under entirely different disclosure regimes (STOCT Act versus insider Form 4 reporting).
Disney has been a recurring name in congressional trading disclosures. Earlier coverage on this site detailed a much larger transaction involving Nancy Pelosi’s Husband Sells $1M-$5M in Disney (DIS) Stock, showing that DIS shares have moved through congressional portfolios at varying scales over the past year.
As with all STOCK Act disclosures, this report offers a snapshot of activity rather than a full picture of investment strategy or motive. Readers interested in tracking further Disney-related filings, from either Capitol Hill or corporate insiders, can expect continued coverage as new reports are filed.
