This stock is up 10% in a week, but U.S. politicians are fleeing

"Shares of The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) have climbed nearly 10% in the past week to $53.90, extending a sharp rebound for the digital advertising platform. Notably, TTD share price has gained 8.5% over the past five days and 19% in the last six months, though it r emains down more than 50% year-to-date after a turbulent 2025. Against this volatile backdrop, some U.S. lawmakers appear to be reducing exposure."

"According to congressional financial disclosures, Representatives Ro Khanna, Byron Donalds , and Lisa McClain each reported sales of The Trade Desk shares worth between $1,001 and $15,000. The Congress trades occurred between August 13 and September 5, 2025, with Khanna executing three separate sales over that period. Donalds, who serves on the House Committee on Financial Services, including its Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence subcommittee, sold shares on September 4, potentially raising conflict-of-interest questions given his committee's oversight of financial innovation."

"The Trade Desk posted $694 million in revenue for Q2, up 19% year over year and slightly above Wall Street estimates. More than 70% of client ad spend now runs through its AI-driven Kokai platform, a key pillar of its automated ad targeting push. The company also repurchased $261 million in shares and reaffirmed guidance, projecting at least $717 million in Q3 revenue."
