ZyVersa Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ZVSA) stock is rocketing higher on Monday alongside heavy pre-market trading of the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company’s shares.

ZVA stock is seeing a lot of activity this morning with more than 12.4 million shares changing hands as of this writing. That’s well above its daily average trading volume of about 1 million shares. Investors will also note that ZyVersa Therapeutics’ float is about 1.22 million shares.

The massive trading volume comes without any news from ZyVersa Therapeutics. That includes a lack of press releases or filings. However, the company did announce new details regarding a white paper on Thursday.

Should You Buy ZVSA Stock?

That’s a tricky question to answer, as ZVSA is a penny stock. That means it can be incredibly volatile and a risky investment. It also means the shares could be manipulated by traders seeking to pump and dump them.

It’s possible this is what’s going on with ZVSA stock today. Its low float, market capitalization of just $3.71 million and prior closing price of 80 cents make it a prime trader for retail and day traders. That means investors will want to be wary about jumping into ZyVersa Therapeutics right now in case a retreat follows today’s rally.

ZVSA stock is up 37.3% as of Monday morning but was down 9% year-to-date when markets closed on Friday.

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 risks.
