The stock market keeps hitting all-time highs. We believe that diversification across sectors is powering this bull market and is wider than discussed in the media and by overall investing commentary. We want to highlight some of the high-flying sectors and individual companies that are having a banner year outside of the strong upward driver of AI. As such, the following is a two-tiered list of companies in Argus' fundamental Universe of Coverage and highlight stocks that are seeing the highest gains from their 52-week lows. We used our Argus screener to find large caps above $250 billion in market cap, and then sorted by sector. We also note our rating and the percentage gains in these stocks. The first list includes non-tech companies, while the second includes the tech companies. Some in this list are technically not categorized as IT companies, but we moved them into this group as IT is their main function.

While the weekly insider-sentiment data from Vickers Stock Research is noticeably improved from what was seen over the past two weeks, insiders clearly remain cautious. And while improved, the sentiment data is still far from the readings below 2.00 that are needed for a bullish call. By the number, the current Total (all exchanges) One-Week Sell/Buy Ratio is 6.02 versus 11.45 last week and 17.32 the week before that. The NYSE One-Week Sell/Buy Ratio is 3.40 versus 8.15 last week and 27.25 the week before that. The Nasdaq One-Week Sell/Buy Ratio is 9.21 versus 14.20 last week and 14.34 the week before that. While the trend is improving, it has not done so with enough strength to stop the deterioration in Vickers long-term (eight-week) ratios. Insider buying outpaced insider selling in two sectors over the past week. Insiders bought shares valued at $104,727 in the Real Estate sector, while selling none. Additionally, insiders bought shares worth $81,929 in the Energy sector, while selling none. Buying activity was also of note in Healthcare, as the value of the insider buying activity lagged the level of selling by a factor of just 2.04-times. Meanwhile, the greatest level of selling occurred in Financials, with shares valued at $33 million sold versus $7.2 million bought. Selling activity was also of note in Consumer Discretionary, and Information Technology. This week, analysts at Vickers highlighted insider transactions of interest at Cohen & Steers Inc. (NYSE: CNS) and BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BL)
