Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. is up 214% since Sept. 23, trading at more than $38, the highest in over three months.

Trump Media, which owns the X-lookalike social media platform Truth Social, has at times traded like a proxy for sentiment of Trump’s perceived chances of winning the US presidential election on Nov. 5.
