The OTCQX Best 50 tracks how liquidity actually shows up on the OTCQX market, ranking the companies whose shares demonstrated sustained dollar volume, repeat trading interest, and dependable market access over time. Positions 31–40 represent the core of the OTCQX Best 50, a range where trading activity remains consistently visible without relying on constant headlines or speculative bursts.
These companies tend to attract repeat attention from retail investors because they are familiar, widely followed, or tied to sectors that stay relevant across market conditions. Liquidity in this band is not accidental. It reflects many investors returning to the same names for clear, practical reasons.
Retail investors should read this group as a set of dependable trading environments rather than a list of breakout stories. Some of these companies sit at the intersection of global markets, others benefit from income-focused demand, sector rotations, commodity exposure, or regulatory developments. Each draws attention in a slightly different way, but the common thread is persistence. Interest shows up again and again, supporting ongoing trading rather than isolated spikes.
In the current macro backdrop, clarity matters. Businesses with recognizable cash flows, essential products, or structural relevance tend to stay in circulation as investors adjust portfolios around rates, growth expectations, and risk tolerance.
The sections below focus on where that attention comes from for each company, and how it typically translates into real-world OTCQX trading behavior.
#31. BNP Paribas (BNPQY): Cross-Market-Driven Liquidity
BNP Paribas (BNPQY) is a diversified European banking group offering retail banking, corporate and investment banking, and asset management. It’s in the financial sector, based in France, and primarily listed on Euronext Paris.
Sustained investor interest tends to come from global macro watchers who track European banks as a read-through on credit conditions, rate policy, and capital markets activity. BNP’s scale and broad business mix keep it in the conversation through shifting cycles, making it a repeat “check-in” name for investors rotating between defensives and financials.
That attention often translates into OTC trading that clusters around macro catalysts and bank-specific reporting dates. Liquidity typically appears as a steady cadence of prints rather than one-off spikes, with flow that can absorb retail-sized orders efficiently when broader European bank sentiment turns constructive.
#32. Zurich Insurance Group Ltd (ZURVY): Income-Driven Liquidity
Zurich Insurance Group (ZURVY) is a global insurer providing property and casualty coverage, life insurance, and related services. It operates in the financial sector, headquartered in Switzerland, with primary trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
Investor attention here is frequently anchored in the income profile and the insurer playbook: underwriting discipline, investment portfolio positioning, and capital return. In a market that continually revisits “quality cash flow” themes, large insurers stay on watchlists because their fundamentals map cleanly to yield and stability preferences.
In practice, trading tends to be orderly and two-sided, with recurring buy interest around dividend cycles and results commentary. Compared with many peers in this band, liquidity often looks “patient,” with fewer abrupt surges and more consistent turnover tied to income-oriented positioning.
#33. American Business Bank (AMBZ): Community-Bank-Driven Liquidity
American Business Bank (AMBZ) is a U.S. commercial bank focused on relationship banking for businesses and professionals. It sits in the financial sector and trades in the U.S. on OTCQX.
The sustained attention tends to come from regional bank followers who focus on balance sheet composition, loan growth, and deposit dynamics. In the post-rate-hike era, community banks that communicate their niche and credit culture clearly often hold a stable base of retail shareholders who stay engaged through quarterly updates.
That investor base typically produces liquidity that shows up in “windowed” activity, more prints around earnings and local news, then quieter stretches where spreads and depth matter more. Versus global megacaps in this band, execution often rewards limit orders and a willingness to work trades across the session.
#34. Imperial Brands PLC (IMBBY): Cash-Flow-Driven Liquidity
Imperial Brands (IMBBY) is a consumer staples company focused on tobacco and nicotine products. It’s headquartered in the U.K. and primarily listed on the London Stock Exchange.
Investor interest is often sustained by the combination of mature-category cash generation and shareholder-return focus. Tobacco names stay on radar because they’re frequently used in income and defensive frameworks, and they draw incremental attention when investors rotate toward businesses with clearer near-term cash visibility.
Trading behavior commonly reflects that “defensive rotation” dynamic: liquidity firms up when broader risk sentiment shifts and when income narratives regain traction. Compared with other stocks in this band, IMBBY’s OTC liquidity often tracks portfolio rebalancing flows rather than theme-chasing bursts.
#35. Foran Mining Corporation (FMCXF): Copper-Cycle-Driven Liquidity
Foran Mining (FMCXF) is a Canadian mining company focused on exploration and development, with a strong association to copper. It’s in the materials sector, based in Canada, and primarily listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Sustained investor attention typically comes from the electrification and infrastructure narrative, where copper remains a key “macro metal.” Even before production milestones dominate headlines, development-stage miners can keep steady visibility when investors repeatedly reprice long-dated supply expectations.
On OTCQX, that interest often translates into liquidity that “breathes” with the copper tape and sector sentiment. Trading can be active in runs and consolidations, with retail participation showing up through frequent, smaller prints, and execution that often benefits from staging entries rather than chasing momentum.
#36. Glass House Brands Inc. (GLASF): Regulation-Driven Liquidity
Glass House Brands (GLASF) is a U.S.-based cannabis company with cultivation, manufacturing, and branded product operations. It’s in the consumer sector, with primary trading on Cboe Canada.
Investor attention tends to persist because cannabis remains a policy-and-market-structure story as much as a consumer one. When headlines shift around state-level expansion, federal positioning, taxation, or industry consolidation, retail traders revisit liquid cannabis names as vehicles for expressing that regulatory optionality.
That backdrop often produces liquidity that arrives in waves, with sharp bursts around policy signals and earnings that reset expectations. Compared with steadier cash-flow names in this band, GLASF trading more often reflects event-driven surges, quick repositioning, and higher sensitivity to sector sentiment.
#37. Danone (DANOY): Defensive-Staples-Driven Liquidity
Danone (DANOY) is a global food and beverage company known for dairy, plant-based products, and specialized nutrition. It’s in the consumer staples sector, headquartered in France, and primarily listed on Euronext Paris.
Sustained interest often comes from the “everyday demand” profile and brand visibility that keeps staples relevant when growth investors dial risk up or down. In inflation-aware environments, food companies also draw repeat attention as investors watch pricing power, volumes, and category mix.
Liquidity on OTCQX commonly shows up as a steady, repeatable stream of retail orders, often less reactive to single headlines and more tied to quarterly updates and broad defensive rotations. Relative to cyclicals in this band, trading frequently looks smoother, with less stop-and-start urgency.
#38. Farmers & Merchants Bancorp (FMCB): Scarcity-Driven Liquidity
Farmers & Merchants Bancorp (FMCB) is a U.S. bank offering community banking services, including deposits and lending. It operates in the financial sector and trades in the U.S. on OTCQX.
Investor attention here often reflects scarcity dynamics: a tightly followed name, a distinct shareholder base, and a price level that naturally encourages deliberate participation. Retail holders who track community banks for consistency and governance signals tend to stay engaged over long periods, reinforcing repeat trading interest.
In trading terms, liquidity often concentrates into fewer but more meaningful transactions, with prints that can represent real repositioning rather than constant churn. Compared with more broadly held banks in this band, execution tends to be more sensitive to timing and order placement, with liquidity appearing most clearly when holders are actively rebalancing.
#39. Roche Holding Ltd (RHHBY): Mega-Cap-Anchor-Driven Liquidity
Roche (RHHBY) is a Swiss healthcare company focused on pharmaceuticals and diagnostics. It’s in the healthcare sector, headquartered in Switzerland, and primarily listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
Sustained investor attention is supported by its role as a global healthcare bellwether, followed by retail and institutional investors alike for pipeline updates, defensive characteristics, and steady demand in diagnostics and therapeutics. Large, widely covered healthcare franchises tend to remain “always on” in investor discussions through changing cycles.
That broad attention base often creates deep, reliable OTC liquidity, with frequent prints and efficient matching for retail-sized trades. Compared with most names in this ranking band, Roche’s trading behavior more closely resembles a U.S. large-cap ADR experience, where liquidity is continuously refreshed across the session.
#40. Altius Minerals Corp. (ATUSF): Royalty-Model-Driven Liquidity
Altius Minerals (ATUSF) is a Canadian resource company with a business model centered on royalties and mineral interests. It’s in the materials sector, based in Canada, and primarily listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Investor interest tends to persist because the royalty model offers a distinct way to express commodity exposure, often with a different risk profile than operating miners. When markets focus on metals tied to electrification and long-cycle supply constraints, royalty and streaming structures attract attention as “portfolio tools,” not just single-asset stories.
On OTCQX, that interest often shows up as liquidity that responds to commodity narratives while remaining more measured than pure producers. Trading commonly features rebalancing flows from investors building diversified metals exposure, with steadier turnover than exploration-heavy names in the same band.
#Why These OTCQX Stocks Stay Tradable
Across Positions 31–40, liquidity tends to be supported by repeatable attention rather than novelty. The common thread is familiarity, either through global brand recognition, sector leadership, durable cash generation, or a structure that makes U.S. access straightforward.
Retail participation stays active because these companies offer clear “reasons to trade,” income cycles, macro sensitivity, policy catalysts, commodity narratives, or mega-cap healthcare defensiveness. In this band, liquidity is often the byproduct of many overlapping motivations, not a single dominant storyline.
Compared with the band above, this group typically relies less on constant headline gravity and more on durable investor routines, earnings windows, dividend calendars, and sector rotations. Compared with the band below, these names more consistently attract incremental flow from multiple audiences at once, which helps trading stay visible even when a single theme cools.
For retail investors, the key lesson is to align execution with the source of interest. Cross-market and mega-cap names often support smoother, more continuous fills. Income and defensive staples tend to trade with a patient, calendar-driven rhythm. Policy- and commodity-linked stocks can deliver bursts of urgency, where timing and order discipline matter more. Once you recognize where attention is coming from, OTCQX liquidity becomes easier to anticipate and plan around.
