Walmart, Berkshire Hathaway, Costco Wholesale, Nordstrom, NIKE, PDD, and Target are the seven Apparel stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Apparel stocks are the quantities of clothing items—categorized by style, size and color—that a retailer, wholesaler or manufacturer holds in inventory for sale or distribution. Effective management of these stocks means keeping enough on hand to meet customer demand while avoiding both overstock, which ties up capital, and stockouts, which lead to lost sales. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Apparel stocks within the last several days.
