As global markets continue to navigate political developments and economic shifts, U.S. stocks have been buoyed by optimism around potential trade deals and advancements in artificial intelligence. With growth stocks outperforming their value counterparts for the first time this year, investors are increasingly focused on companies that not only show robust expansion but also have significant insider ownership, suggesting confidence from those closest to the business.
