Delta Apparel (NYSEMKT:DLA) stock is down on Monday with an apparent lack of news from the activewear and lifestyle apparel products company this morning.

There are no new press releases or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that explain why DLA stock is down today. No analyst news would also be behind the drop the shares are seeing this morning.

However, it is worth noting that shares of DLA stock are down after an unexpected rally on Friday. That caused the shares to close out normal trading hours up 16%. This came alongside heavy trading, with more than 4.5 million units exchanged. For comparison, the company’s daily average trading volume is about 124,000 shares. Its float is also 5.36 million units.

Continuing that heavy trading on Monday, more than 325,000 shares of DLA stock changed hands during pre-market hours. This could be a selloff following the extreme trading volume seen on Friday.

Investors will also note that volatility for DLA makes sense. This is due to its penny stock status. That comes from its prior closing price of 58 cents and its market capitalization of just $4.09 million.

DLA stock is down 33.6% as of Monday morning. The stock was down 92% year-to-date when markets closed on Friday.
