Dermata Therapeutics (NASDAQ:DRMA) stock is taking off on Friday despite a lack of news from the clinical-stage biotechnology company.

While there are no press releases or filings that explain why DRMA stock is up today, traders are excited for some reason. As of this writing, more than 2.5 million shares of the company’s stock had changed hands. That’s already well above its daily average trading volume of roughly 282,000 shares.

The most recent news from Dermata Therapeutics came earlier this week. That saw the company closing a $5 million public offering. As is the case with most public offerings, this dropped the company’s stock. That means today’s movement could be traders buying shares after the dip.

No matter the case, the recent volatility surrounding DRMA stock makes it a risky investment right now. There’s no guarantee it won’t give up its recent gains in normal trading hours today. Also, it could be getting pumped as its low share price of $1.68 makes it easy for traders to load and unload the stock.
