Public comparables question

Dear bankers,

When conducting the public comparable companies analysis do you look at the trading volume of the stock (of the comps) ?

Is it right to say high trading volume => highly liquid stock => low liquidity risk ?

Similarly, low trading volume => less liquid stock => high liquidity risk ?

And of the 5 trading comps I have collected - if 3 have high trading volume and 2 have low trading volume ?

Am I making it more complicated than it deserves ?
