As major U.S. indexes experience weekly losses amid a tech sector slump and cautious Federal Reserve policies, investors are increasingly focused on identifying resilient opportunities in the market. In this environment, growth companies with high insider ownership can present compelling prospects, as such ownership often aligns management's interests with shareholders and may indicate confidence in the company's future performance.
