Marjorie Taylor Greene Goes Shopping; Here Are 6 Shares She Just Bought

Although there is speculation that is rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican Congressman from Georgia, perhaps a run for governor or the US Senate is considering, she does not lose the focus on building her investment portfolio. Earlier this month she went on a buying spree and picked up shares of artificial intelligence shares (AI) and those from other industries.

Next to Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL)” Intel (Nasdaq: Intc) And Meta Platforms (Nasdaq: Meta)Greene grabbed shares of Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN)” Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC)And United Package Service (NYSE: UPS). Although it is not clear how much Greene has invested in each share, the regulatory submission it has submitted reveals that each transaction was appreciated on 11 February between $ 1.001 and $ 15,000.

Greene continued to show the same enthusiasm for AI shares that she embraced last year and took shares from Apple and Meta in this latest go-round of purchases. Shortly before the purchase of Greene, Apple had reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2025, including a company record for quarterly sales: $ 124.3 billion. In addition, Apple reported the growth on the Bottom Line of the profit and loss account, whereby the diluted profit per share (EPS) of $ 2.40 was booked, an increase of 10% on an annual basis.

Although Intel has become out of grace with the market in the past year, Greene has a more favorable view of the semiconductor stock. The Trump administration gives priority to the domestic production of AI chips in the United States, something that JD Vance has cleared up earlier this month on the AI Action Summit in Paris. Recognized that Intel could benefit from this, the market bid Intel shares is higher in the following days since the company has countless semiconductor factories in the United States.

Meta also reported impressive quarterly financial results in January. Growing turnover 21% compared to the same period last year, Meta Q4 2024 reported sales of just over $ 48 billion. Looking ahead, the company intends to further expand its leadership in Generative AI, as it has specified in the profit press release that it will “expect the growth of capital expenditure to be driven in 2025 by increased investments to support both our generative AI efforts and core activities.”

In addition to growth stocks that are at the forefront of the fast fast -growing AI industry, Greene showed the love of dividend supplies in its round of stock purchases that preceded Valentine's Day. Firstly, the representative of the Peach State ventured into the oil field and picked up shares of Devon Energy, an exploration and production company with assets in various basins, who are committed to rewarding shareholders with his dividend. Devon Energy recently announced an increase of 9% for its quarterly fixed dividend in 2025 to $ 0.24 per share, and the shares currently offer a progressive dividend yield of 3.9%.

Greene diversified its sources of passive income outside the energy sector and bought Railroad Stock Norfolk Southern. After the shares fell by 4% in 2024, Norfolk Southern, a freight rail company that is active in the Eastern US, has seen its shares in 2024. The Bottom-Line estimates of analysts beat, Nortfolk Southern delivered a strong financial results of the fourth quarter of 2024 financial results for Greene. The share, with its 2.2% forward dividend yield, is a more conservative option for income investing with its payment ratio that has been an average of 46.3% in the last five years.

Since the first public offer in 1999, Logistics has sent Stalwarts Capital back to shareholders through its dividend, which it has maintained or higher for 25 years. Although shares of UPS fell nearly 10% in January, this had not called Greene, who had bought the shares earlier in January and November. The share now offers a robust ultra -high dividend yield of 5.6%.

Although monitoring the shares purchases of politicians is a valid strategy to gain insights for their own portfolio, it is hardly wise to blindly follow their leads. For those who are committed to AI shares, Apple, Intel and Meta are all worthy considerations and offer different shades of exposure.

With regard to increasing someone's passive income flows, Devon Energy, Norfolk Southern and UPS are also valid options. For those who are looking for a bargain, Devon Energy and UPS are particularly attractive because they trade with discounts on their historical ratings.
