AGBA (NASDAQ:AGBA) stock is heading higher on Friday as the company’s shares see a heavy amount of trading this morning.

As of this writing, more than 3.3 million shares of AGBA stock have changed hands. To put that in perspective, the company’s daily average trading volume is only a fraction of that at about 58,000 shares.

It’s worth noting that there’s no recent news that would explain why shares of AGBA stock are seeing heavy trading today. That includes a lack of press releases, filings, or analysts weighing in on the stock.

However, traders will keep in mind that AGBA is a penny stock. That means it’s more susceptible to volatile trading. This is doubly true during pre-market trading.

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. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that InvestorPlace.com’s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risk.
