Stocks volatility - What factors make stocks more volatile?

Hi folks, anyone can tell me please why stocks like LVS (Las Vegas Sands), HAL (Halliburton), and X (US Steel) are the most volatile, I am talking about daily periods, the C (the Citigroup) for instance was not suitable for daytrading, however after making a reverse split 1 to 10, it had become the 4th most volatile stock in the S&P500. What are the factors that make a stock more volatile than another?
