Walmart, Costco Wholesale, Kroger, Target, Dollar Tree, Burlington Stores, and GameStop are the seven Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. “Toy stocks” is a slang term for low-priced, micro- or small-capitalization shares that trade infrequently and have very low liquidity. Because they often lack strong fundamentals and institutional support, their prices can swing wildly, making them highly speculative and risky investments. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
