The wildly popular [fidget spinner](https://money.com/fidget-spinners-adhd-anxiety-stress/) may be meeting its decline on the market, according to a financial expert.

KeyBanc analyst Bradley Thomas said the fidget spinner [fad](https://time.com/4794437/make-fidget-spinner-lego/) might have peaked, based on two data points that he said indicate the toy has reached a plateau.

According to Thomas, fidget spinners are not dominating Amazon charts like they were weeks ago. A look at [Amazon's top toys and games sellers](https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Toys-Games/zgbs/toys-and-games) shows that fidget spinners take about 18 spots on the top 20. The toy previously took all 20 spots.

The second point is that [searches for the toy](https://money.com/fidget-spinner-most-downloaded-free-app-ios/) have declined on Google Trends over the past two weeks.

"While this does not change our view that Spinners are positioned to be a near-term positive for fundamentals at FIVE we believe near-term investor sentiment for FIVE could become more bearish if the Spinner fad is ending," Thomas told [Street Insider,](https://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+Comments/Five+Below+%28FIVE%29+Lower+as+KeyBanc+Says+Fidget+Spinner+Fad+May+Have+Peaked/12962021.html) referencing Five Below, a retail chain that sells the product.

Fidget spinners have been the latest toy craze since around April, and have [sold out of stores](https://money.com/fidget-spinners-what-to-know/) in droves.
