Costco Wholesale, Walmart, and Take-Two Interactive Software are the three Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are highly speculative, often low-priced or small-cap shares that traders buy and sell more for quick gains or entertainment than for their underlying fundamentals. Driven largely by hype, momentum and social media chatter, these securities tend to exhibit extreme volatility and carry a high risk of rapid price swings and losses.
