Walmart, GameStop, and Costco Wholesale are the three Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are an informal term for low-priced, often micro-cap or penny shares that investors treat more like playthings than long-term holdings. They typically have thin liquidity, scant fundamental backing and high volatility, which can lead to rapid, unpredictable price swings. Because of their speculative nature, toy stocks attract traders seeking quick gains rather than sustained growth. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
