Rep. April Delaney Sells Viking (VIK) Stock

Representative April Delaney, a member of the U.S. House, recently disclosed a sale of Viking Holdings Ltd (NYSE: VIK). According to a periodic transaction report filed under the STOCK Act, the trade took place on May 27, 2026, and was valued in a range between $1,001 and $15,000. The public filing for this transaction was submitted on June 8, 2026.

Timing of the Viking Transaction

The gap between the trade date and the disclosure date is a standard part of the reporting process for members of Congress. This sale follows a series of purchases Delaney made in other companies earlier in May. For Viking Holdings, the trade happened while the stock was trading near the $92 level. This is backward-looking data, and it only shows what happened during that specific window in May.
