Sono-Tek makes ultrasonic coating systems used in fuel cells, electrolyzers, semiconductors and medical devices, and recently won a record order of over $3.6 million for a single integrated production line. It has a clean balance sheet and a specialist niche, but at a $76 million market value it is a lumpy, order-driven business where one large contract moves results, and insiders sold a small amount of stock in the past 90 days.

Swung more than 67% of stocks we rank over the past year (53% a year).
How this is worked out
What it measures: day-to-day price moves over the past year, as a yearly figure, ranked against every stock we cover. Very calm under 20% a year, Calm 20 to 30%, Average 30 to 40%, Bumpy 40 to 55%, Very bumpy above that.
What we found: across about 13,500 stocks in 34 markets (2002 to 2025), past swings were a good guide to the next year's, and bumpier stocks fell further. How much further changed too much between eras to put a number on it.
Calm is not safe: a calm stock can still slide steadily.
