Walmart, Lowe's Companies, CRH, Kroger, and Amer Sports are the five Outdoor stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Outdoor stocks are hardy, cool-season varieties of the flowering plant Matthiola, grown outdoors for their dense clusters of fragrant, four-petaled blooms. Unlike greenhouse or indoor stock cultivars, they tolerate light frost and flourish in full sun to partial shade, making them a popular choice for early-spring and autumn garden color. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Outdoor stocks within the last several days.
