Tempus AI Inc (NASDAQ:TEM) shares surged over 18% to $41.62 in after-hours trading following a disclosure by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi revealed in a recent filing that she had purchased 50 call options on the artificial intelligence-focused precision medicine firm. The options, priced between $50,000 and $100,000, have a $20 strike price and expire on January 16, 2026.
Pelosi’s disclosure also included call options in tech giants Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN).
The rally comes despite Tempus being down about 12% since its public listing in June 2024. The stock faced pressure last week when a major shareholder sold $33.1 million worth of shares, even after Tempus reported strong 2024 earnings. However, the company flagged a slowdown in contract research organization revenues, sparking some investor caution.
Sentiment around Tempus has turned highly bullish on trading platforms like Stocktwits, with discussions about the stock spiking after Pelosi’s disclosure. The platform reported increased interest and optimism, which contributed to the stock’s strong rally.
Tempus leverages artificial intelligence technology for precision medicine applications, and its growth potential continues to attract attention from prominent investors. This latest move by Pelosi, a well-known and closely watched figure in the investment community, has added momentum to the stock, drawing increased scrutiny from retail and institutional investors alike.
As interest in AI and precision medicine grows, Tempus is positioned as a key player, gaining visibility and market attention.
