Trump Media Stock Valuation
Trump Media's valuation has soared to $6 billion, despite generating only $4.1 million in revenue in 2023, leading to a staggering price-to-sales ratio of over 1,400.
This valuation has drawn skepticism from industry experts, including LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, who suggests a more realistic valuation around $40 million.
Political Catalysts
The recent surge in DJT shares came ahead of the first 2024 presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. The debate, hosted by CNN, saw heightened tensions, with Trump using his platform, Truth Social, to criticize Biden.
Meanwhile, Trump is facing legal challenges stemming from his actions related to the 2020 election.
While Trump Media & Technology Group has enjoyed remarkable long-term gains, the current technical analysis signals caution. The stock is experiencing selling pressure, and bearish indicators suggest potential further decline.
Investors should weigh these technical signals against the backdrop of the company's high valuation and the political landscape as they make their decisions.
