Orbsat (NASDAQ:OSAT) stock is surging higher on Tuesday as retail traders are hyping up the company on social media.
There’s no direct news from Orbsat today that explains why the shares are on the move. Even so, that isn’t stopping investors from shining a light on shares of OSAT stock as they race higher today.
As a result, OSAT stock is experiencing heavy trading on Tuesday. As of this writing, more than 7 million shares of the stock have changed hands. That’s already well above the company’s daily average trading volume of around 3.5 million shares.
So why are retail traders taking such a liking to Orbsat today? It likely has to do with the penny stock’s low entry price. This makes it easy for such traders to pump up shares of a company before jumping out with their profits.
