Trump Media & Technology Group stock (DJT) has been making headlines lately, especially with the volatility surrounding Election Day in the US. As investors brace for more wild swings, DJT saw a halt in trading as shares erased gains and reversed course from earlier in the week.
This recent rollercoaster ride for DJT follows a period of substantial decline, with the stock losing around 20% of its value last week alone. Despite this, shares have still seen an overall increase of more than double since hitting lows in September.
With the presidential election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in full swing, investors are closely watching the outcome and its potential impact on DJT stock. Speculation abounds, with some warning that if Trump loses, the stock could plummet to zero.
“It’s a binary bet on the election,” noted Matthew Tuttle, CEO of Tuttle Capital Management. This uncertainty has fueled a “buy the rumor, sell the fact” trading strategy that could see significant shifts in the stock price based on election results.
Interactive Brokers’ chief strategist, Steve Sosnick, described DJT as taking on a meme-stock “life of its own,” highlighting the extreme volatility that has characterized its recent price movements.
Prior to the election-related turbulence, DJT had been on an upward trajectory, buoyed by betting market favor of a Trump victory. However, as polls tightened and new data emerged, the race between Trump and Harris narrowed considerably, contributing to the stock’s recent fluctuations.
Looking beyond the election narrative, DJT’s fundamentals have also come under scrutiny. The company reported a net loss of $16.4 million in the second quarter, with revenue dropping by 30% year-over-year. Trump Media’s operational challenges were further underscored by the departure of its COO last month.
Despite these hurdles, Trump maintains a significant stake in DJT, with the company currently boasting a market cap of around $6.9 billion. As investors navigate the uncertainties surrounding the election and the future of Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform, they must weigh the risks and rewards associated with DJT stock.
