Political ProfileWhere MTD sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: Broad federal contract base ($61.8M across 14 agencies) provides revenue stability but low dependence (0.2% of market cap). No lobbying or donation patterns. EVIDENTIARY: Three congressional traders (Khanna, Barrasso, Lee) with net purchases (Khanna 4 buys, Barrasso 2 buys, Lee 1 buy/1 sale). Executive branch holding by Trump (3 line items, value buckets $1,001-$15,000 each). No corporate insider buys in 180 days. Net: Mixed evidentiary signals offset by lack of structural influence.
