CNN —Former President Donald Trump’s social media company is getting a boost after President Joe Biden’s shaky debate performance.
Shares of Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) rose 4% in early trading Friday as investors bet the debate has boosted Trump’s chances of retaking the White House.
Trump is the chairman of Trump Media, and he is the leading shareholder.
Trump Media doesn’t really trade on the fundamentals of the underlying company, the stock has ebbed and flowed with the news about Donald Trump, including his criminal conviction and Thursday night’s debate performance.
Trump Media is valued at more than $6 billion even though the company makes very little revenue and Truth Social is tiny.
