China SXT Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SXTC) stock is heading higher on Thursday even without any news from the pharmaceutical company.

There’s no recent news from China SXT Pharmaceuticals that explains today’s rally. That includes a lack of press releases or filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Additionally, no analysts have offered new coverage of SXTC stock that would result in today’s movement.

Despite all of that, shares of SXTC stock are seeing incredibly heavy trading on Thursday. As of this writing, more than 13 million shares have changed hands. To put that in perspective, the company’s daily average trading volume is closer to 3.3 million shares.

This also isn’t the first time investors have seen SXTC stock rally out of nowhere. Investors watching the stock a couple of weeks ago likely remember that it underwent a massive rally without news then, too. However, it failed to keep those gains in the following days.

Why the SXTC Stock Volatility?

China SXT Pharmaceuticals is a penny stock. This comes from its low trading price of 12 cents per share and market capitalization of $1.641 million. That means shares of SXTC stock are more susceptible to volatility. It also means traders will want to be careful about investing in the company with its recent rally.

SXTC stock is up 24.3% as of Thursday morning.
