Costco Wholesale, Walmart, Kroger, Dollar General, and Tractor Supply are the five Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks is a slang term for extremely speculative, low-priced equities—often penny stocks or micro-cap issues—with thin trading volume and limited business fundamentals. They’re called “toys” because their prices can swing wildly on minimal volume, making them more of a plaything for quick speculative trades than a serious long-term investment. Because of their illiquidity and volatility, toy stocks carry elevated risks such as price manipulation and potential total loss. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
