As European markets navigate the turbulence of intensified trade tensions and economic uncertainties, investors are increasingly drawn to companies that demonstrate robust growth potential and strong insider ownership. In this environment, stocks with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing as they often signal confidence from those closest to the company's operations and strategy.
