Why Is Safe & Green Development (SGD) Stock Up 140% Today?

Safe & Green Development (NASDAQ:SGD) stock is rocketing higher on Friday despite a lack of news from the real estate development company this morning.

There are no new press releases or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are acting as a catalyst for SGD stock today. On that same note, no analysts are offering new coverage of SGD shares that would explain today’s movements.

What is worth mentioning is heavy trading of SGD stock this morning. As of this writing, more than 3.3 million shares of the stock have changed hands. For the record, the company’s daily average trading volume is closer to 534,000 shares.

Recent SGD Stock Movement

Investors following Safe & Green Development will note that the company’s shares also underwent a massive rally on Thursday without any news. That saw the shares rocket 558.7% higher during normal hours of trading with some 13.4 million shares changing hands.

Without any clear news behind these rallies, it could be that SGD stock is currently undergoing a pump and dump. That would make sense considering it’s a penny stock. If so, investors will want to be careful about investing in the company right now in case its stock suddenly gives up these recent gains.

SGD stock is up 139.6% as of Friday morning.
