Costco Wholesale, Walmart, Target, Dollar Tree, and Dollar General are the five Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are small, low-priced equities—often penny or micro-cap issues—that traders buy more for speculative fun or practice than as core portfolio holdings. They tend to be highly volatile and thinly traded, making them popular for paper-trading and educational simulations. Because positions in toy stocks are typically quite small, investors treat them like “play money” rather than serious long-term investments. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
