• While these toy stocks promise the potential for quick gains, they are also associated with high risks, particularly vulnerability to price swings and pump-and-dump schemes.

Costco Wholesale, Walmart, GameStop, Kroger, Target, Tractor Supply, and Dollar Tree are the seven Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are shares of small, low-priced companies that many traders treat more like speculative “playthings” than long-term investments. Because they have limited market capitalization and liquidity, their prices can swing wildly on relatively small trades and are especially vulnerable to pump-and-dump schemes. While toy stocks may promise quick gains, they carry a disproportionately high risk of steep losses. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
