Planet Image (NASDAQ:YIBO) stock is heading higher on Monday alongside heavy pre-market trading of the ancillary printer components company’s shares this morning.
That has more than 3.9 million shares traded as of this writing. To put that in perspective, the company’s daily average trading volume is only about 8,000 shares. Its float is also low at 1.78 million units.
Investors will note that the YIBO stock movement this morning comes without any clear news. That includes a lack of press releases or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There’s also no analyst coverage that would cause this morning’s rally.
One thing that investors will want to keep in mind is that YIBO is a penny stock. This comes from its low daily average trading volume and prior closing price of $2.92.
What That Means for YIBO Stock
Being a penny stock comes with certain disadvantages. That includes attracting the attention of speculative or retail and day traders. This can cause volatility in these shares.
Considering the heavy trading of YIBO stock today and the lack of news, this is likely behind its gains. However, the stock may not remain up for long on this type of rally. Traders will want to consider that before taking a stake in Planet Image.
YIBO stock is up 53.4% as of Monday morning.

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.
