The Canadian market has remained relatively stable over the last week, though it has risen significantly over the past year. Amid this environment, stocks with high insider ownership, such as goeasy, Nuvei, and Savaria, are often viewed favorably for their potential alignment between management interests and shareholder value. These three companies are key players in their respective sectors, and their recent performance reflects promising developments.
