As global markets approach record highs with broad-based gains, the recent drop in U.S. initial jobless claims and positive home sales reports have further fueled investor optimism despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. In this buoyant environment, stocks with strong insider ownership often signal confidence from those closest to the company, making them appealing candidates for growth-focused investors looking to align their interests with company insiders.
