Html.DisplayName cutting off text

I am using ASP Net Core with .NET 6. I am trying to display data into an HTML table.

item.ToString()
"79.4%"
@Html.DisplayName(item.ToString())
"4%"

item.ToString()
"79.4%"
@Html.DisplayName(item.ToString())
"4%"

Can anyone explain why the text is getting cut off in the above snippet?

Surrounding code:

@model IndexModel
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Home page";
}
<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            @foreach (DataColumn column in Model._dataTable.Columns)
            {
                <td>
                @Html.DisplayName(column.ColumnName)
                </td>
            }
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>

        @foreach (DataRow row in Model._dataTable.Rows)
        {
            <tr>
            @foreach (var item in row.ItemArray){
                <td>
                    @Html.DisplayName(item.ToString())
                </td>
            }
            </tr>
        }
    </tbody>
</table>

@model IndexModel
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Home page";
}
<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            @foreach (DataColumn column in Model._dataTable.Columns)
            {
                <td>
                @Html.DisplayName(column.ColumnName)
                </td>
            }
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>

        @foreach (DataRow row in Model._dataTable.Rows)
        {
            <tr>
            @foreach (var item in row.ItemArray){
                <td>
                    @Html.DisplayName(item.ToString())
                </td>
            }
            </tr>
        }
    </tbody>
</table>

Changing to @Html.Label("", item.ToString()) fixed it
