Costco Wholesale, Walmart, Target, GameStop, Kroger, Best Buy, and Dollar General are the seven Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are shares of companies that design, manufacture or sell toys and games—think of public firms like Hasbro, Mattel or Spin Master. In trading slang, the term “toy stocks” can also describe small-cap or thinly traded equities that exhibit high volatility and limited fundamental backing, more often treated as speculative playthings than long-term investments. Because of their wide price swings and lower liquidity, toy stocks carry elevated risk for investors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
