As the global markets navigate a landscape marked by political upheavals in Europe and mixed economic signals, U.S. major indexes have shown resilience, with growth stocks leading the charge amid record highs for the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite. In this environment of sectoral divergence and economic anticipation ahead of key central bank meetings, identifying growth companies with high insider ownership can offer insights into potential market leaders that are well-aligned with internal stakeholder interests.
