As global markets react to the recent U.S. election results, with major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite reaching record highs, investors are optimistic about potential regulatory changes and tax cuts that could spur economic growth. In this environment, companies with strong insider ownership often attract attention as they may indicate confidence from those closest to the business; such alignment can be particularly appealing for growth-focused investors seeking opportunities in a rapidly evolving market landscape.
