Walmart, Berkshire Hathaway, and Costco Wholesale are the three Grocery stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Grocery stocks are the quantities of food, beverages and household essentials that a retail store has on hand for sale at any given time. They include both perishable items (like produce, dairy and meat) and non-perishables (such as canned goods, dry pasta and cleaning supplies). Effective grocery-stock management ensures shelves stay replenished to meet customer demand while minimizing waste from spoilage or overstocking. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Grocery stocks within the last several days.
