Costco Wholesale, Dollar General, and Walmart are the three Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are very low–priced, thinly traded equity shares—often in microcap or penny‐stock companies—that attract speculative retail investors. Because they trade infrequently and lack institutional support, their prices can swing wildly on minimal volume or even be subject to manipulation. As a result, toy stocks are generally considered high‐risk vehicles more suited to short‐term gambling than long‐term fundamental investing. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
