Costco Wholesale, Walmart, Target, TKO Group, and Kroger are the five Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. “Toy stocks” is an investing slang term for highly speculative small-cap or micro-cap equities that trade at low prices and have limited liquidity. Because they’re often driven by retail speculation rather than fundamentals, their shares are likened to “playthings” for traders rather than serious, institutionally backed investments. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
