- The company, known for its Truth Social platform, has seen a 36% reduction in share value over the past four weeks.

- The recent political landscape, including the announcement of Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate, has further impacted the stock’s performance.
The shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, which operates the Truth Social platform, witnessed a 3.5% decline during today’s trading session. This adds to a month marked by significant volatility, with the stock losing 36% of its value over the past four weeks.
Truth Social, established as an alternative to Twitter—now rebranded as X—has been a focal point for supporters of former President Trump since its inception in 2022. Despite initial enthusiasm, recent developments have negatively impacted the stock’s performance.
The company reported disappointing quarterly results, which have been a primary factor driving the decline in share price. Adding to these woes, Mr Trump has chosen to return to X, leading to concerns over the future viability of Truth Social.
Political factors have also played a critical role. The announcement of Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate is perceived by some retail traders as diminishing Mr Trump’s chances of a political comeback, further dragging down the stock’s value.
Market commentators have expressed scepticism about Trump Media’s financial health, likening it to a ‘meme stock’ whose price is artificially inflated by the support of Mr Trump’s followers rather than by solid financial fundamentals.
Trump Media & Technology Group’s recent stock performance highlights the complex interplay of market volatility, disappointing financial results, and broader political developments.
