The recent volatility in Trump Media & Technology Group stock (DJT) has left investors on a rollercoaster ride, with shares sinking by double digits in early trading on Thursday, only to reverse gains made the day before. The company, home to Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, has seen its stock price fluctuate wildly in response to Donald Trump’s political prospects.
Experts have categorized DJT stock as a “binary bet” on the election, with its trajectory linked to speculation surrounding Trump’s potential return to the White House. Matthew Tuttle, CEO of Tuttle Capital Management, noted that the stock’s performance has followed a “buy the rumor, sell the fact” pattern, suggesting that a Trump victory could lead to a decline in share prices.
Interactive Brokers’ chief strategist, Steve Sosnick, described DJT as having taken on a meme-stock “life of its own,” highlighting the extreme volatility of the stock in recent weeks. Despite hitting a low point in September, DJT shares bounced back as betting markets began to favor a Trump victory.
Following its debut after the expiration of its lockup period, Trump Media faced skepticism about its long-term prospects. The company’s third-quarter results, released last Tuesday, showed a net loss of $19.25 million for the quarter ending Sept. 30, an improvement from the year-ago period. Revenue also experienced a slight year-over-year decline, raising concerns about the company’s financial performance.
As Truth Social aims to compete with established social media platforms, investors are closely watching the company’s fundamentals. With revenue falling over the past nine months and recent executive departures, questions remain about DJT’s ability to solidify its position in the market.
