This is a look at five hot small-cap stocks insiders bought in April and early May. This is significant because April and early May were the peak of tariff fears, and small caps are among the hardest hit by higher prices. The takeaway is these stocks have limited exposure to tariffs (now delayed), and are well-positioned for increased domestic activity. The caveat is that insider buying doesn’t mean company execs, but significant shareholders, including activist investors. The question is how high it is and whether insider buying is a sign investors should buy too.
