Amid a turbulent period for U.S. markets, with the Dow and S&P 500 experiencing significant declines due to economic concerns and tariff uncertainties, investors are increasingly seeking stability in growth companies with strong insider ownership. In such volatile times, stocks where insiders hold substantial stakes can signal confidence in the company's potential, offering a compelling aspect to consider when evaluating growth opportunities.
