<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Texas Rep. Julie Johnson Sold Up to $2.29M Worth of Amazon.com Stock

President Donald Trump on Monday signed a sweeping executive order aimed at drastically reducing prescription <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/drug-prices">drug prices in the U.S. </a>
What Happened: The Trump administration wants to tie drug prices to the lowest amount paid in comparable foreign countries — a policy known as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45381118/cvs-health-cigna-stocks-dip-tuesday-whats-going-on">&#8220;most-favored-nation&#8221; pricing.</a>
The executive order is <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-announces-actions-to-put-american-patients-first-by-lowering-drug-prices-and-stopping-foreign-free-riding-on-american-pharmaceutical-innovation/">a response</a> to what Trump described as &#8220;unreasonable or discriminatory&#8221; practices abroad. 
"In case after case, our citizens pay massively higher prices than other nations pay for the same exact pill, from the same factory, effectively subsidizing socialism aboard [abroad] with skyrocketing prices at home," Trump said in <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-announces-actions-to-put-american-patients-first-by-lowering-drug-prices-and-stopping-foreign-free-riding-on-american-pharmaceutical-innovation/">a statement</a>.&nbsp;
Drug manufacturers have 30 days to voluntarily lower prices for prescription drugs in the U.S. to match those paid in other advanced nations.&nbsp;
If companies do not comply, the Department of Health and Human Services, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is tasked with developing rules to enforce most-favored nation (MFN) pricing or other regulatory measures.&nbsp;
The HHS is also instructed to establish mechanisms for Americans to purchase drugs directly from manufacturers at the MFN price, bypassing pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and other intermediaries.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: The executive order is a rare show of common ground between the Trump administration and Democratic leaders like Senator Bernie Sanders, who has long fought for laws aimed at making medicine more affordable.
And Trump has tried this before. During his first term, he signed a similar <a href="https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-lowering-drug-prices-putting-america-first-2/">order</a> that the courts ultimately blocked after the pharmaceutical industry lobbied against it.
Sanders fears the same thing might happen again. In a <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:upw5n2uwhzubjajdtqaufsek/post/3loyh44tra225?ref_src=embed&amp;ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.commondreams.org%252Fnews%252Ftrump-executive-order-drug-prices">post</a> on the Bluesky social network, he agreed that it is &#8220;an outrage that the American people pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.&#8221;
&#8220;As Trump well knows, his executive order will be thrown out by the courts,&#8221; said Sanders. &#8220;If Trump is serious about making real change rather than just issuing a press release, he will support legislation I will soon be introducing to make sure we pay no more for prescription drugs than people in other major countries. If Republicans and Democrats come together on this legislation, we can get it passed in a few weeks.&#8221;
Pharmaceutical stocks dropped in Monday's premarket trading, but recovered into positive territory by the market close.
Analysts and investors decided the order was less-specific than feared and likely to be challenged in court.&nbsp;
"A drug pricing announcement had been expected for a while now and had weighed on stocks in this sector, so the official executive order doesn&#8217;t seem to be impacting sentiment too much,&#8221; said James Harlow, senior vice president at Novare Capital Management, per Reuters.&nbsp;
In contrast, Trump&#8217;s comments of &#8220;cutting out the middlemen&#8221; weighed on shares of companies that own pharmacy benefit managers like The Cigna Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>), CVS Health Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) and UnitedHeath Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>).&nbsp;
"I would cut out the middlemen," Trump said. "Everybody should equalize. Everybody should pay the same price."
Shares of UnitedHealth plunged Tuesday after<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance"> the company</a> pulled its 2025 outlook, citing that care activity continued to accelerate and CEO Andrew Witty unexpectedly resigned.&nbsp;

What To Watch: The executive order threatens the PBM business model by enabling direct-to-consumer drug purchases, which could significantly reduce the need for PBMs&#8217; negotiating and administrative services. However, legal experts have raised concerns about the legality of direct-to-consumer sales.&nbsp;
"This order's suggestion of broader or direct-to-consumer importation stretches well beyond what the statute allows," warned health policy lawyer, Paul Kim, per the New York Post.&nbsp;
Investors in the healthcare sector may choose to mitigate risk and exposure to PBMs through a diversified healthcare ETF like the SPDR Select Health Care Sector Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLV#NYSE">XLV</a>) which holds shares of pharmaceuticals, health care equipment and supplies and health care providers.&nbsp;
An ETF like the iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITI#NYSE">ITI</a>) which tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Select Medical Equipment Index and invests in leading U.S. medical device companies also offers exposure to the healthcare industry while reducing exposure to pharmaceutical benefit managers.&nbsp;

Trump Again Promises Lower Drug Prices By 'Cutting Out Middlemen' Like UnitedHealth, CVS: Will It Work This Time?

CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) and The Cigna Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) shares trading lower Tuesday. President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order aimed at reducing the cost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42517567/cvs-cigna-unitedhealth-shares-slide-as-trump-targets-drug-middleman">of prescription drugs.</a>
What To Know: According to the Wall Street Journal, the executive order directs Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy to coordinate with pharmaceutical companies over the next month to lower drug prices. It also directs both the U.S. Trade Representative and the Commerce Department to take steps to combat unreasonable and discriminatory policies in foreign countries.
The order essentially aims to tie U.S. drug prices to those paid by other countries, many of which pay less due to government-negotiated rates. Trump said the order equalizes costs, arguing that Americans have been subsidizing cheaper prices abroad.
It also allows for Kennedy to impose rules and restrictions on drug companies and imports, if the companies don&#8217;t lower prices within 180 days.
The order doesn't clarify whether the pricing changes would affect Medicare or Medicaid.
CVS owns CVS Caremark and Cigna owns Express Scripts, both of which operate as pharmacy benefit managers (PBM). Investors may be reacting to the executive order's potential to undercut PBM revenues by tying U.S. drug prices to international rates rather than prices negotiated by PBMs.
CVS and Cigna may also be under pressure after UnitedHealth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance">suspended its guidance</a>, as investors consider whether the same factors could impact the broader industry.

Price Action: At the time of writing, CVS shares are trading 4.83% lower at $61.73 and Cigna shares are trading 2.68% lower at $307.29, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/login">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Guggenheim Securities: Cigna reported its first-quarter earnings at $6.74 per share, beating consensus of $6.35 per share. The company&#8217;s revenues were "well ahead of expectations, particularly within Evernorth," Cassorla said. Evernorth revenues grew by around 16% year-on-year to $53.68 billion, topping consensus of $50.3 billion, while Healthcare revenues rose 9% to $14.48 billion, surpassing consensus of $12.15 billion, he added.
Management raised the full-year earnings guidance by 10 cents per share. "Consensus comparisons are difficult due to timing related to the Medicare divestiture, but the lift in Healthcare pre-tax earnings guide against the delay in Medicare sale (runs at higher MLR) vs company expectations suggests favorable cost trend development for remaining businesses," he wrote.
Piper Sandler: Cigna's earnings beat was led by Cigna Healthcare, Tassan said. Cigna Healthcare's MLR (medical loss ratio) came in at 82.2%, better than expectations of around 83%, despite headwinds from the timing of the Medicare Advantage sale to HCSC, which suggests that "trends in the continuing businesses were considerably better than forecast," she added.
The analyst stated that the raised guidance for Cigna Healthcare looks conservative based on the trends in the first quarter and utilization so far this year. 
"Guidance called for 55.0% of Cigna Healthcare operating income in 1H25, with slightly more than half occurring in 1Q25," she added.
CI Price Action: Shares of Cigna had risen by 0.13% to $334.33 at the time of publication on Monday.

U.S. stocks advanced across the board by midday Friday, with the S&amp;P 500 eyeing its ninth consecutive day of gains—poised for the longest winning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">streak since May 2024.</a>
Risk appetite remained firm, underpinned by solid corporate earnings and a stronger-than-expected April jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 177,000, beating expectations of 130,000 and easing concerns over tariff-related hiring slowdowns.
All eleven S&amp;P 500 sectors traded in positive territory, led slightly by financials over technology. Major indexes have now fully recovered from the declines sparked on April 2, when President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs across trading partners.
The Nasdaq 100 climbed to levels last seen in late March, capping a strong week for tech stocks. Among the Magnificent Seven, all were on pace to close the week higher except Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which slipped 4% as strong earnings were overshadowed by weaker sales in China.
The U.S. dollar index resumed its decline, pressured by renewed calls from President Trump for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates ahead of next week's policy meeting.
Treasury yields surged following the upbeat jobs data, with the 10-year note jumping 10 basis points to 4.31%, easing recession concerns entering the second quarter.
In commodities, oil prices fell back to $58 per barrel despite Thursday's rally on heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Gold rebounded 0.5%, set to snap a three-day losing streak, while natural gas prices jumped 4.4% to a two-week high.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 1% to $97,500, marking its fourth straight week of gains.
