Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has increased her stakes in PepsiCo and Palantir Technologies, including a purchase of Palantir stock that raised red flags due to her committee assignments. Greene has bought Palantir stock four times in 2025, with the latest transaction on July 15. The company is a government contractor and Greene is a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security. Greene's stock transactions have outperformed the broader market in 2024.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) has recently disclosed two stock purchases, including a significant addition to her holdings in Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) and a first-time purchase of PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP). The latest transactions were reported on July 22nd, with Greene buying between $1,001 and $15,000 in shares of Palantir Technologies on July 15th and $1,000 to $15,000 in PepsiCo stock on the same date.
This latest purchase marks the fourth time Greene has bought Palantir Technologies stock in 2025. Previous transactions were reported on February 12, April 8, and April 9. The company, a government contractor, has raised concerns due to Greene's committee assignments. She chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and is a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, which could potentially create conflicts of interest.
Palantir Technologies has seen its stock price rise significantly in recent months, reaching a new 52-week high of $160.06 on July 20th. The stock has a market capitalization of $375.54 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 689.99. Analysts have set varying price targets for the stock, with Piper Sandler setting an "overweight" rating and a $170.00 price target, while Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft maintains a "sell" rating [1].
Greene's stock transactions have outperformed the broader market in 2024. Her past purchases have included other tech and consumer goods stocks such as Snowflake Inc. (NYSE: SNOW), Tractor Supply Co. (NASDAQ: TSCO), and Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE) [2].
The latest disclosures come as Greene is running for re-election to represent Georgia's 14th Congressional District. Her stock purchases have been a subject of interest due to potential conflicts of interest, but the congresswoman has maintained that her investments are made independently of her legislative duties.
