Walmart, Costco Wholesale, and Kroger are the three Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. “Toy stocks” is a colloquial term for very small, thinly traded equities—often micro- or nano-caps—with low liquidity, scant analyst coverage and high price volatility. Because they trade more like a speculative hobby than a core holding, investors tend to treat them as “play money,” accepting greater pump-and-dump and market-manipulation risks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
