The ebbs and flows of stock prices are sometimes a case of posing more questions than answers, and that’s the case for biotech microbial tech company Zoono Group (ASX:ZNO), which rocketed up 63% out the gate on Wednesday, then, only after 27 minutes, paused its shares ahead of an announcement.

For some traders, the volatility was a reminder of the COVID years when Zoono landed on the map – given its value prop, that doesn’t require explaining – and some HotCopper users remembered fondly when the stock traded above $3.
Of course, those fondly remembered days, for now, shouldn’t be considered as something replicable. Especially because the company hasn’t released any news for the last week, and the out-the-gate rise could, at the end of the day, suggest a leaky ship.
To that end, users on HotCopper put forward various theories: Could the company have just landed a big contract? Could it be on the cusp of a takeover offer? For all intents and purposes, there’s clearly a reason the stock has popped out of the blue. It’s just that the public isn’t too sure why. At least not yet.
Share price action a/a 2pm AEDT was on the back of $270,200 worth of trades and share turnover volumes of 2.17M shares vs a 4Wavg of only 594,000.
The move puts YTD returns up a whopping +520% – but that should be considered in the context of the company’s 5Y chart below.
ZNO last traded at 15.5cps.
