As global markets rebound from recent volatility, growth stocks have notably outperformed value shares, driven by strong performances in the technology sector. With the Federal Reserve potentially cutting rates and inflation showing mixed signals, investors are increasingly focusing on companies with robust growth potential and high insider ownership. In this environment, stocks with substantial insider ownership can offer a unique advantage. High insider stakes often signal confidence in the company's future prospects and align management's interests with those of shareholders.
