As the German market navigates through a period of cautious investor sentiment due to escalating Middle East tensions, the DAX index has mirrored this unease with a notable decline. Amidst this backdrop, identifying growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing, as such stocks often suggest confidence from those closest to the company and may offer resilience in uncertain times.
