As the German market navigates through a period of cautious investor sentiment amid escalating Middle East tensions, the DAX index has experienced a notable decline of 1.81%, reflecting broader concerns across European markets. In this environment, growth companies with high insider ownership can offer potential resilience and alignment of interests between management and shareholders, making them an intriguing focus for investors seeking stability amidst uncertainty.
