Market Watch: Trump Media Sees Resurgence Amid Insider Selling Speculation
Trump Media’s stock surged over 5% on Tuesday, closing at $12.79 per share, following a six-day losing streak that saw the company’s value plummet by more than 32%. The sudden upswing comes as insiders, including majority owner Donald Trump, gained clearance to sell their shares.
The company, listed as DJT on the Nasdaq, witnessed a significant increase in trading activity, with over 21 million shares exchanged, far exceeding the 30-day average daily volume of 8.8 million shares. This sudden surge in trading activity has sparked speculation about the intentions of early investors, who were previously barred from selling their shares due to lockup agreements.
Trump, who owns nearly 57% of the company’s outstanding shares, has vowed not to sell his stake, despite its value declining by billions of dollars in recent months. However, other early investors are expected to cash out, which could impact the company’s stock price. The value of Trump’s stake currently stands at around $1.5 billion.
Trump Media’s sole product, Truth Social, has struggled to generate significant revenue in recent fiscal quarters, fueling concerns about the company’s long-term viability. The lockup expiration has sparked uncertainty among investors, with many wondering if early investors will seek to dump their shares, potentially driving the stock price down further.
As the market continues to watch Trump Media’s every move, one thing is certain – the company’s future remains uncertain, and its stock price will likely continue to fluctuate in response to speculation and market sentiment.
