Retail stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that are bought and held primarily by individual (non-institutional) investors rather than by large professional funds. These equities often include smaller-cap names or popular consumer brands whose prices can swing more sharply in response to the collective buying and selling activity of retail traders. Sometimes dubbed “meme” or “mom-and-pop” stocks, they contrast with institutional-dominated issues in terms of liquidity, volatility and market influence.
