In this article, we will take a detailed look at the 11 Stocks Insiders are Buying Now. For a quick overview of such stocks, read our article 5 Stocks Insiders are Buying Now.

Despite a hotter-than-expected CPI report, the stock market remained in the green on March 12, which is a good sign according to many analysts as investors begin to brush aside recession warnings that kept haunting them for most part of 2023. Tom Lee, Fundstrat Global Advisors managing partner and head of research, while talking to CNBC on March 12, said that stocks rising despite a hot CPI report is “always” a “good sign.” When asked about the latest comments of JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon where he said he sees a “little bit” of a bubble in equity markets, Lee said that most of the growth in the S&P 500 is coming from major tech companies like Nvidia which are seeing huge demand. Lee said massive growth of mega-cap stocks could “feel like a bubble” but that’s really the market “recognizing” the mega trends.

Investors Brush Aside CPI Worries

The stock market isn’t shrugging off hotter-than-expected inflation prints or recessions warnings without a reason. Experts like Jamie Dimon and Ray Dalio, among many others, have been issuing ominous warnings about the economy for several months now. In 2022 Jamie Dimon said there was a “hurricane” headed towards the US economy and recommended investors to “brace” themselves. Billionaire Ray Dalio on his LinkedIn posts has been consistently cautioning investors about debt crisis and an expected “perform storm.” Several economists were taking recession as a certainty; they were just debating how severe would it be. But near the end of 2023, a plethora of market analysts and pundits began revising their S&P 500 targets for 2024 and started issuing bullish reports for 2024 outlook. According to Wall Street Journal, Ray Dalio admitted that he got it wrong.

“I got it wrong because, ordinarily, when you raise interest rates it curtails private-sector demand and asset prices and slows things down, but that didn’t happen. There was a historic transfer of wealth: The balance sheets of the private sector improved a lot and the balance sheet of the government deteriorated a lot,” Dalio said according to the WSJ report.

In this backdrop, it’s important to keep an eye out for insider activity and see what stocks corporate insiders are amassing these days.

Methodology

For this article we used Insider Monkey’s stock screener to find out the stocks that have seen heavy insider buying activity over the past seven days through March 12. From these companies we picked 11 stocks that saw the biggest insider purchases in terms of dollar value. Some top names in the list include Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ:KDP), Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC (NASDAQ:JAZZ) and EchoStar Corp (NASDAQ:SATS). With each stock we have mentioned the number of hedge fund investors where applicable. Why? Hedge funds’ top 10 consensus stock picks outperformed the S&P 500 Index by more than 140 percentage points over the last 10 years (see the details here).

11. Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:SPHR)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: N/A

Live entertainment and media company Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:SPHR) recently saw insider buying activity as of March 4. Sphere Entertainment Co.’s (NYSE:SPHR) CEO James L. Dolan bought 110,156 shares of Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:SPHR) at $46.88 per share. Since the date of this insider transaction the stock has gained about 2.6% as of March 10.

McIntyre Partnerships stated the following regarding Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:SPHR) in its fourth quarter 2023 investor letter:

“In addition, two long-held investments, GTX and MSGE/SPHR, had positive news during the year and were significant contributors to our overall gains. For MSGE/SPHR, the split of the two businesses proved to be a significant catalyst, with the combined company rallying ~75% last year. After the spin in the spring, I rotated the bulk of our investment from MSGE to Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:SPHR), as I thought MSGE was trading at a reasonable valuation while SPHR remained deeply discounted. Since then, SPHR has completed construction of the Las Vegas Sphere, which opened to broadly positive reviews, and SPHR has appreciated further. However, we have substantially reduced our investment in SPHR. I was comfortable owning MSGE in significant size due to its unlevered ownership of the Madison Square Garden arena, an iconic venue with stable cash flows and modest growth. After the split, SPHR has no ownership of the arena and is instead a riskier growth company, with significant upside potential but also higher odds of a miss. As a result, we retain a smaller position in SPHR. Looking forward, I remain bullish on the Las Vegas Sphere and believe additional sphere developments could be a significant catalyst, offset somewhat by my worries regarding refinancing the MSGN loan while SPHR is still bearing a great number of front-end loaded growth expenses.”

A New Dawn is Coming to U.S. Stocks

Published on May 2, 2024 at by Insider Monkey Staff

I work for one of the largest independent financial publishers in the world – representing over 1 million people in 148 countries.

We’re independently funding today’s broadcast to address something on the mind of every investor in America right now…

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
