As 2024 comes to a close, the U.S. stock market has experienced a strong year overall, despite ending on a weaker note with the Dow posting its largest monthly loss in over two years. The Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 still managed impressive annual gains of 29% and 23%, respectively. In this context, growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly attractive as they often signal confidence from those closest to the business in its potential for future success.
