Pelosi Discloses New Call Options on Intel and Uber
Claire Weston
Nancy Pelosi's latest filing shows she bought 200 call-option contracts each on Intel and Uber, both struck at $50 and expiring March 2027 — a straight directional bet that both stocks will rally sharply within two years.
What exactly did she buy?
Two identical structures: 200 call options on Intel (INTC) and 200 call options on Uber (UBER), strike price $50, expiring March 19, 2027.
A call option — a contract giving the holder the right to buy shares at a fixed price before expiry — means she profits only if the stock rises above $50. The higher it goes, the more she makes.
In plain terms = both positions are directional bets on upside, not defensive hedges.
Why does every Pelosi trade make headlines?
Pelosi represents California's 11th district and has faced persistent criticism for trading stocks while serving in Congress.
This means → every new filing gets scrutinized for whether a senior lawmaker is trading on an information edge.
This is her second disclosure this year. In January she reported exercising Alphabet (GOOG/GOOGL) calls and buying Amazon (AMZN) calls.
What does winning look like for this bet?
The key checkpoint: whether Intel and Uber can hold above $50 before the March 19, 2027 expiry.
The further above $50, the larger the gain; if either stock is still below $50 at expiry, the options expire worthless and the entire premium is lost.
In plain terms = this is a bet with a hard deadline — the market will deliver its verdict in under two years.
