As European markets continue to show resilience, with the STOXX Europe 600 Index marking its longest streak of weekly gains since 2012, investors are increasingly looking towards growth stocks with substantial insider ownership as potential opportunities. In this context, companies where insiders hold significant stakes may offer a unique alignment of interests and stability amidst broader economic uncertainties.
