As global markets navigate a complex landscape marked by record highs in U.S. indices and mixed economic signals, investors are increasingly focused on earnings growth as a key driver of stock performance. In this environment, companies that combine robust insider ownership with strong earnings growth potential stand out as particularly compelling opportunities for those seeking alignment between management and shareholder interests.
