Costco Wholesale, Walmart, and Target are the three Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are low-priced shares in very small or micro-capitalization companies that traders often buy more for speculative fun or practice than as serious, long-term investments. Because they trade infrequently and with limited regulatory disclosure, toy stocks tend to have wide bid–ask spreads, extreme price swings and a higher risk of market manipulation. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
