Did Tommy Tuberville Beat the Stock Market?
Politician Stock Tracker
Did Tommy Tuberville beat the stock market? On the stock purchases he has disclosed since January 2021, our answer is no—at least in this window. Those buys returned about 43%. Buying the S&P 500 with the same money on the same days returned about 87%. He made money in absolute terms in many cases—but still trailed simply matching the index. That is a narrow lens on STOCK Act disclosures—not his entire wealth.
The short answer
| Question | What our data shows |
|---|---|
| Did disclosed buys beat the S&P 500? | No — about 43% vs 87% |
| How many buys? | 290 purchases we could price since January 2021 |
| Did he pick great days to trade? | Near a coin flip — about 52% vs a 50% luck baseline |
Beating the market on what he bought and beating it on when he traded are different questions.
How we compare him to the market
Imagine this: every time Tuberville disclosed a stock purchase, you bought the same amount of the S&P 500 (through SPY, a fund that tracks the index) on that same day. Then you compare the two paths.
- Tuberville's disclosed buys: about 43%
- S&P 500 on the same dates: about 87%
His most-disclosed names include CLF, PYPL, X, QCOM, INTC. He is among the most active disclosers in Congress—high volume did not equal beating the index here.
Limits to keep in mind: disclosure forms report dollar ranges, not exact share counts. This measure covers disclosed stock purchases only—not every asset class. Full details live on his Tommy Tuberville stock tracker page.
Timing is a separate question
Some people hear "beat the market" and mean "he knew the perfect day to buy." That is trade timing—and we measure it separately.
50% is roughly what random luck looks like. Tuberville's overall score sits around 52%:
| Measure | Score | vs 50% luck |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | 52% | +2 points |
| Buys | 45% | -5 points |
| Sells | 58% | +8 points |
With high confidence and 962 scored trades across 268 stocks, treat this as essentially in line with chance.
