Pelosi discloses bullish options bets on Intel and Uber

Investing.com - Representative Nancy Pelosi filed a new report disclosing that her spouse purchased call options on Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) and Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE: UBER), with a combined disclosed value ranging from $1.5 million to $6 million.

The filing shows two separate option purchases, both carrying a $50 strike price and a March 19, 2027 expiration date. The Intel position consists of 200 call options valued between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000, while the Uber position covers 200 call options valued between $500,001 and $1,000,000. Both transactions are classified as new purchases, not amendments to prior disclosures.

The filing was digitally signed on June 23, 2026, roughly 25 days after the May 29 transaction date, placing it well within the STOCK Act's 45-day disclosure window.

The identical strike prices and expiration dates across both positions point to a coordinated bullish outlook, with the trades structured to profit if INTC and UBER trade above $50 before mid-March 2027. The Intel bet carries considerably more capital at risk, with the upper bound of its disclosed value reaching $5 million, compared to $1 million for Uber.

The timing draws attention, given the policy environment surrounding both companies.

The U.S. government owns a roughtly 10% stake in Intel with the Trump administration pushing for U.S. chip manufacturing, which could greatly benefit Intel's foundry ambitions. Shares of Intel are up 259% year-to-date and nearly 500% over the last year. The calls owned by Pelosi are now significantly in the money.

Uber, meanwhile, operates at the intersection of gig-economy labor regulation and autonomous vehicle policy, two areas that have seen active congressional interest.
