In a week marked by mixed performances across major global indices, growth stocks have continued to capture investor attention, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite reaching record highs. As growth shares outperformed value stocks significantly, sectors like consumer discretionary and information technology saw notable gains amid ongoing economic developments such as job growth rebounds and anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts. In this environment, companies that not only exhibit robust earnings potential but also have high insider ownership can offer unique insights into future performance expectations.
