Financial Disclosures and Stock Trading Activity

As a member of Congress, Tim Moore is required under the STOCK Act to publicly disclose his financial transactions, including purchases and sales of securities. In February 2026, Moore's financial disclosure filings revealed a series of notable stock transactions across multiple sectors of the economy, drawing coverage from financial news outlets.

On February 20, 2026, filings disclosed that Moore had purchased shares of Krispy Kreme, Inc. (NASDAQ: DNUT), the well-known doughnut company. Around the same period, Moore also acquired shares in Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE: HOG), the American motorcycle manufacturer. Additionally, Moore purchased shares in The Simply Good Foods Company (NASDAQ: SMPL), a consumer packaged goods company, with the transaction reported in multiple filings.

In addition to these purchases, Moore's filings revealed that he sold shares in two other major companies during the same period. He sold shares of AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), one of the largest telecommunications companies in the United States. The filing disclosing this sale was made on February 20, 2026. Moore also sold shares of Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN), the cryptocurrency exchange platform, during this time frame.

Investing.com characterized these transactions collectively as "significant trades," noting that the series of purchases and sales spanned multiple industries, including food and beverage, consumer goods, telecommunications, financial technology, and manufacturing. Congressional stock trading has been a subject of ongoing public debate in the United States, with some advocacy groups and lawmakers calling for stricter limitations or outright bans on the ability of members of Congress to trade individual stocks while in office. Moore's transactions, like those of other members who actively trade securities, are part of the broader public record mandated by federal disclosure laws.

Political Positions and Legislative Context

Moore represents North Carolina's 14th congressional district as a Republican. His district is situated in a state that has been a competitive battleground in national politics while maintaining a Republican-leaning state legislature for much of the 21st century. Moore's long tenure in North Carolina state politics, including his service as Speaker of the House, positioned him as a figure with deep ties to the state's Republican establishment before his move to Congress.

North Carolina's political landscape during Moore's career has been shaped by debates over a wide range of issues, including redistricting and electoral maps, environmental regulation, education funding, and economic development. As a federal representative, Moore's constituency and voting record reflect the political dynamics of his district within the broader context of North Carolina's evolving political geography.

In February 2026, environmental groups filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over the rollback of a key climate finding that had provided the federal agency with the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. WFAE, a Charlotte-based public radio station, reported on the lawsuit, which alleged that "politics overriding science" had motivated the regulatory changes. While Moore was not directly named in the lawsuit coverage, the EPA's regulatory actions and the broader debate over climate policy represent issues of significance for representatives from North Carolina, a state with extensive coastal areas, agricultural interests, and energy sector employment.
