Phunware (NASDAQ:PHUN) stock is on the rise Tuesday despite a lack of news from the integrated software platform company.

There are no new press releases that explain why PHUN stock is rallying today. The same holds true for filings with the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC). No analysts are offering new coverage of the stock today, either.

Even without news, shares of PHUN stock are seeing heavy trading on Tuesday. That has more than 72 million shares changing hands as of this writing. For the record, its daily average trading volume is close to 4 million shares.

Is Donald Trump Rallying PHUN Stock?

Stocks connected to former President Donald Trump are rallying on Tuesday. That comes after the presidential candidate won the Republican contest in Iowa for the 2024 elections.

News of Trump’s victory in the state is boosting stocks as investors celebrate the news. It’s possible this could lead to further rallies for those companies as the 2024 presidential elections continue. However, a loss for Trump could reflect badly on these stocks as well.

PHUN stock is up 57.2% as of Tuesday morning. That’s a welcome change for investors compared to its 5.3% drop year-to-date date of Friday’s close.
