Investing.com - Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:DJT) stock added more than 10% Wednesday, following the results of the 2024 US presidential election, with a victory for Donald Trump.
Trump owns almost 57% of the parent of the Truth Social platform, according to a recent regulatory filing. Trump Media went public in March following a tie-up with special purpose acquisition vehicle Digital World Acquisition Corp.
Like the US dollar and Bitcoin, moves in the stock in recent weeks had roughly mirrored investors' expectations of Trump winning a second four-year term in the White House.
In mid-July, it spiked after a failed assassination attempt on Trump, then slipped in the wake of Kamala Harris replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party's nominee. But the stock surged higher yet again when online prediction markets started showing that Trump, the Republican Party candidate, maintained a sizeable advantage of Harris.
Overall, the Trump win and election conclusion have resulted in a boost for stocks, with the S&P 500 currently up 2%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing 3.1%, and the Nasdaq gaining 2.4%. Following the win, several analysts have released notes outlining the impact of Trump's policies on various stocks and sectors.
Citi analysts said in a note that they see a favorable near-term setup for retail stocks following the election, noting that the US consumer has been generally resilient through Presidential changes and surprise.
Meanwhile, trading platform Tradu said the EV market and the renewables sector "could be one of the main losers of a new Trump presidency, as he has pledged to dismantle the green energy policies enacted by the current administration."
