<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>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</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.

The company reported fourth-quarter earnings per share of 44 cents, missing the street view of 46 cents. Quarterly sales of $3.77 billion missed the analyst consensus estimate of $3.78 billion.
Fourth-quarter net sales rose 3.1%, with a 0.6% increase in comparable store sales and a 2.3% growth in average transaction value. The increase in net sales was driven by new store openings and growth in comparable store sales.&nbsp;
All merchandise categories performed within a relatively tight band.
The growth of consumable, usable and edible products was in line with the chain average as positive unit growth was offset by average unit price pressure.

The company was lapping its most difficult gross margin comparison with 129 basis-points of expansion in the prior year.
&#8220;The fundamentals of our business remain strong with ongoing market share gains, record Neighbor&#8217;s Club members, digital sales in excess of one billion dollars and high-return new store openings,&#8221; said CEO Hal Lawton.
&#8220;We expect our 2025 comparable store sales to improve throughout the year as the macro headwinds impacting our business abate,&#8221; Lawton adds.&nbsp;
The company opened 26 new Tractor Supply stores and four Petsense by Tractor Supply stores in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The company repurchased approximately 2.7 million shares of its common stock for $154.4 million and paid quarterly cash dividends totaling $117.3 million, returning a total of $271.7 million of capital to shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2024.

McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) is rolling back several diversity initiatives at its corporate level, including retiring its 35% diversity leadership goal and removing supplier <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/diversity">diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements</a>, the company announced in an employee letter on Monday.
The fast-food giant will rebrand its diversity team as the &#8220;Global Inclusion Team&#8221; and pause participation in external DEI surveys. The company noted it had achieved 30% representation from underrepresented groups in U.S. leadership positions, though falling short of its original 2025 target of 35%, reported Reuters.
The policy shift follows similar moves by other major corporations, including Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Deere &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>), and Tractor Supply Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSCO#NASDAQ">TSCO</a>), amid growing pressure from conservative activists. The changes come in response to what McDonald&#8217;s termed a &#8220;shifting legal landscape,&#8221; likely referring to the Supreme Court&#8217;s June 2023 decision striking down affirmative action in college admissions.
Conservative activist Robby Starbuck had recently questioned McDonald&#8217;s DEI practices, continuing a pattern where companies have modified their diversity programs following his criticism. Despite the changes, McDonald&#8217;s remains committed to inclusion practices within its operations.
