Senator Angus King of Maine made an unusual move in early 2026: he sold his entire position in nine major stocks simultaneously — including Meta, Microsoft, Netflix, and Eli Lilly — all on February 13, 2026. Here's what the STOCK Act disclosures show and what it might mean.
What King Sold
According to disclosures filed via Quiver Quantitative data, King sold between $1,000 and $15,000 in each of the following stocks on February 13, 2026:
- Autodesk (ADSK)
- Blackstone (BX)
- Eli Lilly (LLY)
- Meta Platforms (META)
- Microsoft (MSFT)
- Netflix (NFLX)
- On Holding (ONON)
- PayPal (PYPL)
- Uber Technologies (UBER)
All sales were marked as full exits — meaning King completely liquidated each position.
What He Kept
Not everything was sold. King maintained existing positions in Exxon Mobil, Nvidia, Alphabet, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and AMD — all purchased in July 2025.
Why This Pattern Is Interesting
King is an independent senator from Maine who caucuses with Democrats. He's been trading stocks since at least 2014, with over 125 disclosed trades and $1.8M+ in total transaction volume. His February 2026 cleanup — selling 9 positions at once while keeping energy and AI exposure — suggests deliberate portfolio repositioning rather than random activity.
The timing coincides with the Stop Insider Trading Act advancing out of committee in January 2026. Members who believe a trading ban is coming have an incentive to simplify their portfolios ahead of potential divestment requirements.
