On the congressional disclosure side, the database shows Representative Ro Khanna reported multiple $ESTC trades in prior years, including purchases in 2022 and 2024 and sales in 2022 and 2025, with midpoint values of $1,001 for the smaller brackets and $15,001 for the January 2025 sale. Congressional dollar amounts are midpoint estimates of bracketed ranges disclosed under the STOCK Act. The most recent congressional entry for the ticker was a sale by Representative Rob Bresnahan, disclosed on June 23, 2025, with a $1,001 midpoint. None of the congressional $ESTC disclosures approached the scale of the October 5 insider sale.
