Executive summary
Rep. Keith Self (R, House, TX-03) reported one career trade in the provided dataset: a purchase of PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) on 2025-01-10 for $1,001-$15,000, disclosed on 2026-06-30 (536-day lag). In the EDGAR window surrounding the trade, PepsiCo filed 8-Ks on 2024-12-11, 2025-02-04, and 2025-02-07 (plus a 2025-02-07 8-K/A), and no Form 4 insider transactions were identified in the specified window.
Based on the user-provided trading history, this transaction represents 100% of Rep. Self’s recorded trading activity (one trade, one ticker, no sales). The disclosure occurred substantially after the transaction date (536 days). Public-company event context available from the user-provided EDGAR enrichment shows multiple PepsiCo 8-K filings within roughly two months after the trade date (including an 8-K with Item 2.02 on 2025-02-04 and an 8-K with Items 8.01 and 9.01 on 2025-02-07), while Form 4 insider activity in the provided window was reported as none. Cross-member activity provided indicates other members’ PEP trades occurred later (starting 2025-07-11 through 2026-05-15), not within 30 days of the analyzed 2025-01-10 trade. Several research steps (Congress.gov legislative/hearing context, Federal Register/regulatory items, Regulations.gov dockets, and USAspending awards) could not be completed in this environment, so no primary-source legislative or regulatory timeline could be added beyond the EDGAR filings and the user-provided trading records.
