A new Periodic Transaction Report filed under the STOCK Act shows Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., disclosed a sale of QUALCOMM Incorporated common stock (NASDAQ: QCOM) on August 19, 2026. The transaction, executed by the member of Congress herself, was reported in a value range of $1,001 to $15,000 and took place inside a UBS IRA Account, according to the filing submitted to the U.S. House of Representatives.
The disclosure is a routine requirement under the STOCK Act, which mandates that members of Congress publicly report securities transactions within a set window after they occur. Filing such a report is not an accusation of wrongdoing, and the law does not restrict members from holding or trading individual stocks, including through retirement accounts like an IRA. Our internal tracking system classifies this filing simply as a congress sale, reflecting the transaction type and disclosed range rather than any judgment about the trade itself.
A Notable Timing Overlap
What makes this filing worth flagging is its proximity to another QCOM-related disclosure. Company insider Patricia Y. Grech, associated with Qualcomm, also reported a sale of QCOM shares on August 20, 2026 — just one day after Salazar’s transaction date. Grech’s filing listed a $0 value, and both disclosures fall within the same 30-day window, putting a congressional sale and a corporate insider sale of the same stock side by side on the public record.
Whoisbuyingnow.com surfaces these kinds of overlapping filings because they illustrate how congressional trading activity sometimes coincides with insider activity at the same company, even when the two are filed under entirely separate legal regimes — the STOCK Act for members of Congress and Section 16 reporting requirements for corporate insiders. There is no indication in the public filings that the two transactions are connected, coordinated, or based on shared information. The overlap is presented here as a timing pattern worth noting, not as evidence of any relationship between the filers.
Qualcomm is a major semiconductor and telecommunications equipment company, and its stock regularly attracts trading activity from a wide range of institutional and individual holders, including retirement accounts. The disclosed range for Salazar’s sale — $1,001 to $15,000 — is on the smaller end of the reporting brackets used in STOCK Act filings, which group transaction values into broad bands rather than exact dollar amounts.
As with all Periodic Transaction Reports, the underlying filing is a matter of public record. Readers interested in the exact language and formatting of the disclosure can review the original document once it is linked from this report.
