Costco Wholesale, Walmart, and Kroger are the three Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are the shares of very small, thinly traded companies whose low market capitalizations and light trading volumes make them highly volatile and easily swayed by speculative demand. Lacking deep institutional support or solid fundamental backing, these equities often behave more like playground novelties than mature investments, exposing traders to rapid price swings and heightened manipulation risk. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
