Costco Wholesale, Walmart, Kroger, Target, Take-Two Interactive Software, GameStop, and Dollar Tree are the seven Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are informal jargon for very small‐cap, thinly traded equities whose low liquidity and limited fundamental backing make them prone to extreme price swings and manipulation. Because they’re more “played” for quick speculation than held for stable growth, investors treat them more like trading toys than serious long-term investments. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
