In April 2025, European markets are grappling with significant volatility as higher-than-expected U.S. tariffs have led to sharp declines in major indices like the STOXX Europe 600, which saw its largest drop in five years. Amid this uncertainty, investors are increasingly focusing on growth companies with strong insider ownership, as these stocks often demonstrate resilience and alignment of interests between management and shareholders during turbulent times.
