Amazon.com, Walmart, and Booking are the three Retail stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Retail stocks are shares of companies that operate in the retail sector—businesses that sell goods or services directly to consumers, such as supermarkets, department stores, and e-commerce platforms. In investor jargon, the term can also loosely refer to stocks frequently traded by individual (retail) investors, though context usually indicates which meaning is intended. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Retail stocks within the last several days.
