Walmart, Costco Wholesale, Target, GameStop, and Kroger are the five Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks is a slang term for small, speculative equity positions—often penny or micro-cap shares—that investors treat as hobbyist “play money” rather than core portfolio holdings. Because they typically have low liquidity, limited operating histories and small market capitalizations, toy stocks carry much higher volatility and risk than established, larger-cap companies. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
