Investors Unfazed by Vice Presidential Showdown

  • Trump Media & Technology Group’s stock fell despite the VP debate
  • The stock has been influenced by Trump’s re-election chances rather than business fundamentals
  • Shares were down 2.5% in premarket trading at $15.76
  • DJT has rallied after early investor lockup period expired
  • Trump owns more than half the company
  • Share price below $13 would reduce former president’s stake value

Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social platform, experienced a decline in its stock despite the recent VP debate. The stock has been more influenced by former President Trump’s re-election prospects than business fundamentals since merging with Digital World Acquisition Corp in March. Early investor lockup period expiration led to a rally, but shares are still down from their peak at $66. If the share price falls below $13, Trump’s stake value would decrease.
