With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.

Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending March 28:
Applied Industrial Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIT#NYSE">AIT</a>): The industrial products distributor saw strong interest from readers during the week. KeyBanc recently maintained an Overweight rating on the stock while lowering the price target from $325 to $275. Applied Industrial will likely report third-quarter financial results in late April. The company missed earnings per share estimates in the second quarter but has beaten analyst estimates in nine of the last 10 quarters. The company also missed revenue estimates in the second quarter but has beaten analyst estimates in seven of the last 10 quarters. Applied Industrial <a href="https://ir.applied.com/news/news-details/2025/Applied-Industrial-Technologies-Reports-Fiscal-2025-Second-Quarter-Results/default.aspx">raised </a>full-year guidance after the second quarter thanks to its strong quarter and the Hydradyne acquisition. The stock will be one to watch ahead of the next earnings report.
Applied Industrial stock was down for the week, as seen on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0328">Benzinga Pro chart </a>below. The stock is up 14% over the last year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0328"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="997" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160513/Screenshot-366.png" alt="" class="wp-image-847698" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160513/Screenshot-366.png 997w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160513/Screenshot-366-300x151.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160513/Screenshot-366-768x387.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px" /></a></figure>
Wheaton Precious Metals Corp (NYES: WPM): Mining stocks like Wheaton Precious Metals saw increased interest from readers with gold at record prices and President Donald Trump encouraging more mining. The stock trades near all-time highs with a recent strong fourth quarter showing the company beating earnings per share for the fourth time in five quarters. The company missed revenue estimates in the fourth quarter, which was the third straight quarter of missing analyst estimates. Wheaton reported record revenue, adjusted net earnings and operating cash flow in 2024. The company has 18 operating mines and 28 development projects. A five-year outlook from the company calls for annual production to increase by 40% to 870,000 gold equivalent ounces. With gold prices at all-time highs, the stock could be one in the sector that investors keep an eye on, given the record 2024 and five-year growth outlook.

Newmont Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>): Speaking of gold and mining, the world's largest gold miner Newmont also saw increased interest from readers. The company <a href="https://www.newmont.com/investors/news-release/news-details/2025/Newmont-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2024-Results-Provides-Full-Year-2025-Guidance/default.aspx">reported </a>fourth-quarter results in February, with strong results reported including a focus on getting rid of non-core assets and focusing on Tier-1 assets. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in three of the last four quarters and beaten analyst estimates for revenue in three of the last four quarters. With investors looking for exposure to gold and other precious metals, Newmont could continue to see shares trade higher. The stock was up around 2% on the week and shares are up 34% over the last year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0328"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1001" height="454" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160548/Screenshot-368.png" alt="" class="wp-image-847700" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160548/Screenshot-368.png 1001w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160548/Screenshot-368-300x136.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160548/Screenshot-368-768x348.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></a></figure>
Welltower Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WELL#NYSE">WELL</a>): The healthcare REIT saw increased interest from readers during the week. The company owns a portfolio of over 2,0000 senior housing properties, medical offices and skilled nursing properties. Several analysts have raised their price targets on the stock ahead of first-quarter financial results, which will likely be reported next month. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in four straight quarters and beaten analyst estimates for revenue in two straight quarters. Earlier this month, Welltower <a href="https://welltower.com/investors/press-release-details/?id=780">announced </a>the acquisition of 38 ultra-luxury senior housing communities and nine entitled development parcels from Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.
The stock trades near all-time highs and shares are up 34% over the last year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0328"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="999" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160603/Screenshot-369.png" alt="" class="wp-image-847701" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160603/Screenshot-369.png 999w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160603/Screenshot-369-300x151.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160603/Screenshot-369-768x386.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px" /></a></figure>
Deere &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>): One of the larger stocks to appear on the Stock Whisper Index is agricultural equipment company Deere &amp; Company. Readers were drawn to the company this week with minimal news. The industrial sector continues to see pressure due to tariff threats and concerns that there will be declines in investment and large spending on equipment. Deere &amp; Company's next earnings results will come around May. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in 10 straight quarters and beaten revenue estimates in more than 10 straight quarters. In February, the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43692928/deeres-q1-earnings-beat-forecasts-yet-sales-and-profits-slide-amid-declining-equipment-demand">first-quarter results </a>beat estimates, but several segments saw double-digit declines on a year-over-year basis. Guidance for the full year shows some recovery in the company's main operating segments.
Deere &amp; Company&#8217;s stock was down on the week, but shares are up 13% over the last year. The stock is one to watch if industrials show a turnaround or strength going forward.

$100 Invested In Deere 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Live On CNBC, Jim Lebenthal Announces Sold Deere & Company

Taking a look at insider buying this week, we see that insiders are just as cautious and uncertain as the rest of us. The insider buy-sell ratio has moved to levels that are typically bearish, meaning that many more insiders are selling than buying.
&nbsp;Now, that is not necessarily a disaster. Insiders sell stock for all sorts of reasons—estate planning, buying a house, funding a dream wedding or an Ivy League education, or, in some cases, a dream divorce.
But there is only one reason an insider buys: they think their stock is going to move a lot higher.
Right now, the lack of insider buying suggests they are not feeling overly confident about the market's long-term upside. And let's be honest, the broader market indicators aren't giving us any warm fuzzies either. Market cap to GDP, the Buffett Indicator, is sitting at historic highs. The overall allocation to equities among pensions, individuals, and institutions is near peak levels, a setup that historically leads to anemic returns over the next decade.
The excess CAPE yield, which compares corporate cash flows to Treasury yields, is flashing warning signs with a spread that screams, &#8220;proceed with caution.&#8221;
A lost decade is not out of the question. That does not mean an outright crash, though. It could take many forms: a brutal meltdown and a slow recovery, a melt-up followed by a grinding pullback, or just a long, ugly period of sideways action. The market has been running hot since 2009, and it has weathered a few hiccups—2018 and COVID—but each time, the Fed stepped in and bailed everyone out. That kind of intervention cannot last forever.
Then there is the extreme market concentration. Most of the recent gains are coming from a small handful of stocks. The last time the market was this narrow? 1998-1999. Before that? The Nifty Fifty era of the 1970s. Neither ended well. Do the math.
So, where is the smart money going during these turbulent times?
That brings us to Tom Gayner at Markel (Ticker: MKL).
Markel is not your typical insurance company.
&nbsp;It's a specialty insurer, covering everything from marine and aviation to professional liability and even horse insurance,. It seems in addition to specialty property and liability coverages they also insure racehorses, show horses, and livestock. &nbsp;That even includes major medical insurance for horses
The business is well-run and highly profitable. Gayner, who took the reins in 1990, has transformed it from a $40 million outfit into an $18 billion powerhouse.
His investment track record is nothing short of spectacular, crushing the S&amp;P 500 over multiple decades. Recently, he made two separate six-figure stock purchases—one in November, another in early February. That kind of move from a guy with his track record should make you sit up and take notice.
Markel is not just about insurance. It also runs an investment portfolio that mirrors the Berkshire Hathaway model, with a strong emphasis on long-term, value-driven stock picks. The firm's portfolio includes major stakes in companies like Berkshire Hathaway (Ticker: BRK-A), Google (Ticker: GOOGL), Brookfield (Ticker: BN), Amazon (Ticker: AMZN), John Deere (Ticker: DE), Home Depot (Ticker: HD), Visa (Ticker: V), Apple(Ticker: AAPL), and Watsco (Ticker: WSC),a top-tier HVAC distributor generating impressive cash flow.
More recently, they have been buying Franco-Nevada, a gold royalty company, and Hagerty Insurance, which specializes in classic car coverage. They have also added Airbnb, Dollar General, and Insperity, a staffing solutions provider. The investment strategy is built on high-quality businesses with strong cash flow, and Markel's ability to generate returns has been exceptional over time.
Another name that caught my eye? Amcor PLC (Ticker: AMCR). It is a UK-based packaging and container company specializing in medical and consumer goods packaging. They are in the process of acquiring Berry Global, which will significantly boost their market position.
The stock is cheap, trading at just $10 per share with a solid 5% dividend yield. The CEO just snapped up another $1 million worth of stock, increasing his stake by over 30%. When the guy running the show puts that kind of money on the table, you should pay attention.
And for those of you still swiping left and right, Match Group (Ticker: MTCH) insiders are making a move. Match owns all the big names in online dating—Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, and even some niche brands. The CEO just bought $2 million worth of stock, and a director stepped up with a six-figure buy.
This business has high gross margins, strong cash flow, and solid projected earnings growth for 2025. Wall Street loves it, and now the people at the top are backing it with their own cash.
So what is the takeaway? The overall market looks sketchy. Insiders are not exactly lining up to buy, which is a big red flag. But when the few who are buying happen to be seasoned, successful executives with a history of making smart bets, it is worth following their lead. Keep your eyes on Markel, Amcor, and Match Group.
These insiders are not waiting for permission. They are backing their convictions with real money. That is the kind of move you want to watch in times like these.
