Toy stocks are shares of very small or micro-capitalization companies that trade with low liquidity and limited analyst coverage.

The nickname “toy stocks” reflects how these securities are treated like playthings—traded for quick thrills rather than long-term value. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
