Trump Media & Technology Group stock was trading sharply lower a day after the presidential inauguration.

Shares of the company, which is majority owned by President Donald Trump and trade under ticker symbol "DJT," fell 11% to $35.59 on Tuesday. The S&P 500 gained 0.5%.

The volatility shouldn't be surprising: Trump Media, the parent company of the Truth Social social media platform, is well known for trading on news about the president, as opposed to fundamental metrics including earnings or revenue.

Despite the declines Tuesday, DJT shares remain trading above the close near $34 on Nov. 5, the day when Trump won the U.S. presidential elelection.
