Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp ( DJT ) experienced a sharp decline of 17% during pre-market trading on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro. This drop comes after a significant surge of 6% the previous day, driven by Donald Trump’s return to the White House for a second term.

The fall is primarily attributed to investors taking profits following the political comeback of President-elect Trump. The company’s stock price decreased by 17.01%, reaching $29.84 in premarket trading.

Meanwhile, U.S. stocks could open in the green on Thursday after a strong post-election rally on Wednesday that saw former President Trump emerge victorious after a long-drawn battle with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Futures for the small-cap Russell 2000 index showed a 0.4% increase.
