180 Life Sciences (NASDAQ:ATNF) stock is on the rise Wednesday despite a lack of news concerning the clinical-stage biotechnology company.

180 Life Sciences hasn’t put out any press releases that explain why its shares are up today. There are also no filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that give reason for the stock’s rise today.

Instead, heavy trading seems to be behind the boost ATNF stock is getting today. As of this writing, more than 3 million shares have changed hands. To put that in perspective, the company’s daily average trading volume is closer to 1 million shares.

What to Know About ATNF Stock

Investors will keep in mind that ATNF stock is a penny stock. That comes from its low market capitalization of $6.6 million and trading price of $1.78 per share when markets closed on Tuesday. As a penny stock, ATNF is susceptible to volatility, especially during pre-market trading. That means traders will want to be careful with any investments in the company today.

180 Life Sciences is a clinical-stage biotech company focused on developing treatments for inflammation. It’s based out of Palo Alto, CA and was founded in 2016. The company went public through an initial public offering (IPO) back in 2020.

On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks: With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That’s because these “penny stocks” are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators.
