The 25 Low Volume Stock List

You might have been wondering what are the lowest volume stocks that are listed on major, U.S. stock exchanges like NYSE and NASDAQ. We produce this list so that clients, and researchers, can review the list each day for ideas on stocks that have been left behind.

This list was produced after market close on September 4, 2024.

This information changes each day, as the attention of the market shifts. Some stocks that were yesterday’s darlings are today’s dogs left to themselves. We calculate this based on the current day’s volume divided by the average annual volume of the stock as provided by our market data services provider.

Trading Volume / Average Trading Volume = CQNS Volume Metric (1.00 means typical trading)

We calculate this with each run for the prior day, and it gives a good sense where the market is suddenly interested or uninterested (and trading shares) when compared to the average trading volume for the past year.

Each stock has a ‘typical’ level of trading volume based on number of shares outstanding, investor interest, liquidity, momentum, availability of liquid stock options, news, speculative opinions, market capitalization, stock price changes, and so many more factors. Stocks have a natural level of volume in a period of time.

Every day, stocks do show a change in their trading behavior. Some stocks trade below their typical volume, seemingly forgotten, and those stocks are worth a look too.
