Chijet Motor (NASDAQ:CJET) stock is rising on Friday alongside heavy pre-market trading of the new energy vehicle company’s shares.
This has more than 8 million shares of CJET stock trading hands as of this writing. That’s already well above the company’s daily average trading volume of about 354,000 shares. Investors will also note that Chijet Motor’s float is 15.2 million units.
Investors will note that this movement comes without any clear news from Chijet Motor. That includes a lack of press releases or filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There’s also no analyst coverage that would act as a catalyst for this rally.
One thing traders will keep in mind is that CJET stock is a penny stock. This comes from its prior closing price of 29 cents per share and market capitalization of $50 million.
What That Means for CJET Stock
Heavy trading of a penny stock is often a sign of a pump and dump. It’s possible that this is what’s happening to CJET shares today considering the lack of news concerning the company.
If that’s the case, traders will want to be careful about taking a stake in Chijet Motor right now. While the stock is currently up, it might not stay that way for long amid volatility.
CJET stock is up 21.1% as of Friday 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.
