Costco Wholesale, Walmart, Kroger, Target, BJ's Wholesale Club, Take-Two Interactive Software, and Dollar General are the seven Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are very small-capitalization equities—often penny or micro-cap issues—with low trading volumes and limited analyst coverage. Their share prices tend to be highly volatile and easily swayed by a few trades or promotional activity, making them prone to speculative “pump-and-dump” schemes and generally riskier for investors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
