David J. Taylor Reports Minimum 5 Stock Purchases in AVGO, AEP, and FITB

U.S. Representative David J. Taylor reported in a financial transaction report that on August 26, he purchased multiple lots of Broadcom (AVGO), American Electric Power (AEP), and Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) shares, each in amounts ranging from at least $1,001 to as much as $15,000[1]. All transactions consist of at least five separate filings based on reporting criteria, and since each purchase falls within the same price bracket, the total acquisition amount is estimated between $5,005 and $75,000—such new or additional exposure to all three stocks by the congressman at once could serve as a meaningful signal for current share prices[1].

Representative Taylor placed repeat purchase orders for high-growth semiconductor and infrastructure software firm Broadcom Inc. (“AVGO”) in two separate transactions on the same day, each in the $1,001–$15,000 range[1]. American Electric Power (“AEP”) also saw two purchases on the same day at identical price brackets, suggesting a stepped increase in exposure to the electric utility sector[1].

In the financial sector, he acquired common stock of Fifth Third Bancorp (“FITB”) on August 26 in a single transaction within the $1,001–$15,000 range, allocating funds to the regional banking sector as well[1]. This simultaneous purchase of semiconductor, electric utility, and banking stocks implies a diversified portfolio across technology, essential infrastructure, and financials. The fact that the congressman is positioned to increase holdings rather than execute short-term sales in all three names may prompt investors to monitor potential alignment with political interests[1].

Asset	Ticker	Transaction Type	Transaction Date	Filing Date	Transaction Amount Range	Count	Transaction–Filing Lag
American Electric Power Company, Inc.	AEP	Purchase (P)	2026-08-26	2026-09-05	$1,001–$15,000	2	10 days[1]
Broadcom Inc. – Common Stock	AVGO	Purchase (P)	2026-08-26	2026-09-05	$1,001–$15,000	2	10 days[1]
Fifth Third Bancorp – Common Stock	FITB	Purchase (P)	2026-08-26	2026-09-05	$1,001–$15,000	1	10 days[1]

These transactions were executed on August 26 and publicly disclosed on September 5, resulting in a 10-day lag between the actual trade and the disclosure[1]. This implies that investors tracking the representative’s buying trends should account for a certain information delay, and that AEP, AVGO, and FITB share prices may have already reflected other factors during this period, warranting interpretation based on the disclosure date[1].
