Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) stock is moving lower in early trading after the company announced plans to launch a new data service that offers fast access to posts from high-profile accounts on its Truth Social platform. The stock opened at $9.39, down 2.5% from the previous close, and has traded in a range of $8.78 to $9.42. The move reflects investor concerns over the implications of the new service, which is expected to provide institutional clients with real-time data feeds.
What Happened
The company has introduced Truth API, a licensed data service that delivers real-time access to content from influential accounts on Truth Social. The service is being marketed to financial firms and high-frequency traders, with reports indicating that the company has pitched a $100,000 monthly fee for access to the fastest feed of President Donald Trump’s posts. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to monetize the platform by leveraging the influence of top accounts, including the former president. The launch of the service is set for August 1, 2026, and has drawn criticism from some quarters, with concerns about potential conflicts of interest and regulatory scrutiny.
What The Data Shows
The stock is trading at $9.39 with a volume of 2.7 million shares, which is 0.7 times the 3-month daily average. The stock is currently within its 52-week range of $6.96 to $20.92. Despite a recent 1.7% increase in trailing twelve-month revenue, the company remains unprofitable with an EPS of -4.05. The stock has a high beta of 4.13, indicating significant volatility relative to the broader market.
What To Watch
The company is scheduled to report earnings on July 31, 2026, after the close. The market will be watching for further details on the impact of the new data service on revenue and for any regulatory developments related to the offering.
