Financial service platform Unusual Whales has estimated the investment earnings from NVIDIA of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It has been reported that she also made considerable profits from investing in other companies like Google.
According to Unusual Whales on the 30th, it is estimated that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have earned about $4 million from NVIDIA call options they purchased in November last year. The call options grant investors the right to buy shares at a specific price.
Unusual Whales analyzed that Paul Pelosi, who owns the investment and consulting firm Financial Leasing Services, has seen a 170% increase in his call options over the past 190 days. However, he has yet to sell them. Christopher Josephs stated that it is difficult to confirm the exact amount of Pelosi’s initial investment, which is indicated to be in the range of $1 million to $5 million, but the figures from Unusual Whales appear to be accurate. Josephs is a co-founder of the Autopilot app, which allows individuals to track and replicate politicians’ transactions.
Josephs explained, “This year, not only NVIDIA but also other stocks in the Pelosi portfolio, such as Crowdstrike, which has risen 45% since the beginning of the year, and Google, which has increased 27%, are performing well. The estimated annual return based on stock reports is 28%, which exceeds SPY by 16.5%.” In response, a spokesperson for Pelosi clarified through a statement, “Former Speaker Pelosi does not own any shares and has no prior knowledge or involvement in the transactions.”
Paul Pelosi was criticized for buying NVIDIA call options worth more than $1 million in 2022, just a few weeks ahead of the congressional vote on chip industry subsidies. He later sold these options. A spokesperson for Unusual Whales added, “Former Speaker Pelosi has been investing in Nvidia for a long time,” and “Regardless of their separation, Paul Pelosi is also very active in the market.”
