Donald Trump's Social Media Stock Plummets After Debate Performance
The stock of Donald Trump's social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, has faced a sharp decline following his recent debate performance. Investors seemed to react negatively to Trump’s showing during the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, causing the stock price to plunge to its lowest point since the company went public in March. Shares fell by 17% on Wednesday morning alone, marking a significant drop.
This market response suggests that Wall Street perceived Trump's debate as a failure, which may have shaken investor confidence. The stock's volatile history is closely tied to Trump's political fortunes, and it has seen sharp rises and falls depending on his electoral outlook. Before the debate, Trump Media's stock had actually risen 9% earlier in the week, hinting at investor optimism. However, this optimism quickly faded after what was widely viewed as a poor performance by Trump, especially compared to Harris, who managed to throw him off balance during their exchanges.

The stock’s value has been on a downward trajectory over recent months, losing nearly half its value since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July. Trump Media, which owns the Truth Social platform, has often been considered a “story stock,” where investor sentiment is heavily influenced by political developments and Trump’s popularity. With Trump being the primary shareholder and the most prominent user of Truth Social, any fluctuations in his political prospects directly impact the stock's performance.
Looking ahead, there is uncertainty about the future of Trump Media’s stock, especially with a lock-up agreement expiring later this month. This will allow Trump to sell his shares, but unloading a significant portion quickly could drive the price down further. Experts believe that if Trump were to lose the upcoming election, the stock could plummet even more dramatically, potentially nearing a value of just $1 per share. Conversely, a win could see the stock recover and even rally.
For now, though, the immediate aftermath of the debate has left investors jittery, with many seemingly adjusting their expectations based on what they saw as a lackluster performance from Trump.
