Costco Wholesale, Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Dollar General are the five Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are shares of very small or micro-capitalization companies that trade with low daily volume and often exhibit wide bid-ask spreads. Because they lack deep liquidity and solid fundamental backing, their prices can swing dramatically on relatively little trading activity. Retail investors sometimes treat these high-risk, illiquid securities like speculative “playthings,” chasing outsized gains but facing a high chance of total loss. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
