As the U.S. stock market grapples with the impact of newly imposed tariffs and economic uncertainty, investors are closely watching sectors that might offer resilience amid volatility. In such an environment, companies with strong insider ownership can be appealing, as they often signal confidence from those most familiar with the business's prospects and operations.
