Executive summary

This research covers Rep. Rick Larsen’s reported sale of FedEx (FDX) on 2026-10-08 ($1,001-$15,000; filed 2026-10-12) alongside same-day trades (buy WSM, buy ADI, sell HD), labeled “QUARTERLY REBALANCE.” Public-source context gathered includes FedEx’s FY2026 10-K filing (filed 2026-07-20) noting a fiscal year-end change effective June 1, 2026, and multiple FedEx 8-K filings in July–September 2026 per SEC EDGAR enrichment provided. Due to a web-search tool result cap, several required targeted searches (committee schedule extraction for the relevant window; Federal Register within-window queries; Regulations.gov open dockets; and 10-K risk-factor regulatory excerpts) could not be completed in this run.

Based on the user-provided trading history, the analyzed transaction is one of only two FDX trades in the dataset (a purchase on 2024-04-04 and the sale on 2026-10-08), each in the $1,001-$15,000 range, and the member’s overall activity is distributed across many tickers (64) with relatively small per-trade dollar ranges. The same-day bundle (FDX sale, HD sale, and purchases of WSM and ADI) is consistent with a multi-security portfolio adjustment event as described by the filer (“QUARTERLY REBALANCE”). In the 90-day pre-trade window defined by the provided EDGAR enrichment, FedEx filed multiple 8-Ks (notably a 2026-09-29 8-K including an exhibit on outside director compensation and a 2026-07-10 8-K with tender-offer related exhibits), and a Form 4 was filed on 2026-09-25 reflecting director option-related and tax-withholding transactions dated 2026-09-24. Additional contextual verification on congressional committee activity, Federal Register rules/proposed rules in the specified windows, and Regulations.gov open dockets could not be completed due to the web-search tool limitation noted above.
