Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) skyrocketed on Election Day, driven by investor enthusiasm over former President Donald Trump's prospects in the tightly contested presidential race against Vice President Kamala Harris.
The stock, which has become a proxy for Trump's perceived chances of reclaiming the White House, soared as much as 15.25% on November 5, extending a volatile period of trading for the parent company of Trump's Truth Social platform.
According to market analysts, DJT's share price has closely mirrored shifts in election polls and prediction markets, rising when Trump's odds improve and falling when polls indicate an advantage for Harris. The stock's surge on Election Day signaled that investors were betting on a Trump victory, though the results may take days or even weeks to determine due to the tight race and potential legal challenges.
