German term or phrase: der wenig liquiden Aktie

Auch bei XXXX treiben seit Juli 2004 Übernahmespekulationen den Kurs der wenig liquiden Aktie.

Any ideas as to what exactly is implied by "wenig liquid" here? Thanks!

English translation:of this relatively illiquid share/stock

Explanation:
It means there's a restricted market in the shares, so they can be difficult to sell and the price may be volatile.

difficult to sell share

Explanation:
one talks about "liquid" stocks if they can easily be turned into money (cash), i.e. are easy to sell. Obviously, stocks which are not liquid are difficult to sell - given your short sentence, that seems to be the case here.
