As global markets exhibit mixed signals with technological sectors reaching new heights and traditional industries facing challenges, investors are keenly observing market trends and economic indicators. In this context, growth companies with high insider ownership can offer unique investment opportunities, as they often signal strong confidence from those who know the company best—its insiders.
