Why Is TRUMP MEDIA & TECHNO (DJT) Stock Down Today?

Trump Media & Technology Group shares fell 19.24% to $4.81, marking a new record low. The primary driver was the U.S. midterm election results, in which Democrats secured control of both the House and the Senate. This political shift triggered a broad reassessment of stocks closely associated with President Donald Trump.

What Happened

The stock opened at $5.47, an 8.1% gap down from the prior close of $5.95. Trading accelerated through the day, hitting a session low of $4.78 at 2:10 PM ET before closing near $4.82. The decline coincided with a wider market rotation away from the "Trump trade," which also impacted other companies linked to the administration. While the broader S&P 500 rose following the election, DJT moved in the opposite direction. The company is scheduled to report its Q3 2026 results on November 9, adding near-term uncertainty to the price action.

What The Data Shows

Fundamentals show a market cap of $1.6 billion with a trailing twelve-month EPS of -4.70, though revenue grew 21.6% over the same period. The 52-week range spans $5.40 to $17.09.

Unusual options activity included three notable prints with $311,000 in call premium versus $20,000 in put premium, with the largest single print at $303,000. Retail traders on r/wallstreetbets expressed bearish sentiment, with some describing the stock as "going to get wrecked."
