Famous billionaire investor George Soros is the owner of SF Racing Syndicate, who was scheduled to have two horses in this year's Kentucky Derby. Rodriguez has been scratched, leaving Soros with Citizen Bull as his lone horse in the race. Just like hoping for a bull stock market, Soros will be hoping for a bull to win the Derby.  
Render Judgment is co-owned by Dream Walkin' Farms, a horse racing venture started by late country singer Toby Keith. The racing venture is now run by Keith's sister Tonni Covel, as <a href="https://www.kentucky.com/sports/horses/kentucky-derby/article305227166.html">reported </a>by the Lexington Herald Leader. Keith dreamed of having a horse in the Kentucky Derby and while he isn't alive to see that feat come true, he was close to living out that legacy.
Sandman is co-owned by St. Elias Stables. Vincent Viola, who is the founder and Executive Chairman of Virtu Financial (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIRT#NASDAQ">VIRT</a>), is the owner of St. Elias Stables. Viola also owns the Florida Panthers NHL team.
Social media influencer Griffin Johnson is also included in the ownership group for Sandman.
Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>) co-founder and Executive Chairman Travis Boersma owns the Flying Dutchmen racing operation, which owns Owen Almighty. Fans of the coffee chain may be rooting for Owen Almighty to win the race.
Flying Mohawk is owned by Two Eight Racing, a venture from former MLB player Jayson Werth. The former MLB player also had a horse in last year's Kentucky Derby. Werth played for the Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals during his MLB career.
Grande, who was one of the horses scratched, is owned by Mike Repole. The beverage titan is best known for founding Vitaminwater maker Glaceau and BodyArmor, two companies that are owned or co-owned by The Coca-Cola Company.
Those watching and betting on the Kentucky Derby can choose based on a horse&#8217;s name, their racing history, betting odds or perhaps based on rooting interest in one of the famous co-owners.

<h3>Navigating the Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Despite insider sells not always signaling a bearish sentiment, they can be driven by various factors.
<h3>Breaking Down the Significance of Transaction Codes</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Illuminating the Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Shares of capital market companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Macro uncertainty has delayed the timeline for an IPO comeback, but there remains substantial pent-up supply for equity issuance.
That&#8217;s according to BofA Securities analyst Craig Siegenthaler, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/exchanges" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained all of his</a> ratings and continues to look for a reopening in the second half of 2025. 
This will restart Nasdaq, Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDAQ#NASDAQ">NDAQ</a>) strategic flywheel across listings, trading, and corporate services, he says.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44190371/nasdaq-plans-24-hour-trading-to-tap-global-investor-demand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nasdaq Plans 24-Hour Trading To Tap Global Investor Demand</a>
Siegenthaler continued to forecast the highest 12-month upside for: 
<ul>
<li>Tradeweb Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TW#NASDAQ">TW</a>); Buy rating, price target $212 from $197.</li>
<li>BGC Group, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BGC#NASDAQ">BGC</a>); Buy rating, price target $15 from $16.</li>
<li>Nasdaq; Buy rating, price target $105 from $103.</li>
<li>Cboe Global Markets, Inc (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>); Buy rating, price target $260 from $251.</li>
</ul>
There is a significant runway left in the electronification of fixed-income markets at Tradeweb Markets, and given their considerable rates business, the analyst noted that Tradeweb Markets will capitalize on the political uncertainty in Washington.
Siegenthaler will look for BGC Group to launch Treasury futures within days and expect their share of the $2 billion revenue per year interest rate futures market to continue accelerating, surpassing 10% in 2027.
The increasingly uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop produced ideal conditions for trading across asset classes. 
Accordingly, Siegenthaler raised EPS for his entire market structure coverage. While the analyst expects some downward normalization in volumes into the second half of 2025 (in parallel with a pickup in IPOs), ongoing geopolitical uncertainty will remain an important trading catalyst.
Given his view of second-half normalizations, we are less bullish on Exchange stocks (which outperformed) than the Alts and Brokers.
With market structure stocks up 8% on average in the first quarter of 2025, Nasdaq and Virtu Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIRT#NASDAQ">VIRT</a>) — Buy rating, price target $48 from $56 — have lagged the group.
Nevertheless, the analyst forecasted over 10% first-quarter 2025 EPS beats for both stocks.
Both companies have benefitted from the surge in equity volume in the first quarter of 2025.
Assets under management linked to the Nasdaq-100 have faced beta headwinds related to the choppy equity markets year-to-date. One-third of their indexing revenue is derived from Nasdaq-100 futures, which posted their strongest growth quarter in years (up 38% sequentially) and are seeing strong adoption at the online brokers. In addition, the annual listing price hike (estimated 5%) should more than offset any delisting headwinds. 
Meanwhile, Virtu Financial should also see solid results across its organic initiatives, with industry volumes in options, ETFs, and fixed income higher sequentially.
MarketAxess Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKTX#NASDAQ">MKTX</a>) — Underperform rating, price target $191 from $189 — rallied 12% in March. 
Investors embedded an industrywide mix shift into A2A RFQ, where they are dominant. Siegenthaler noted that portfolio trading (PT) and D2D trading have also logged impressive volumes month-to-date, up 18% and 11% month-on-month (versus +9% for TRACE).
Tradeweb Markets remains dominant in both of these market segments. Accordingly, the analyst does not expect MarketAxess Holdings to post higher market share gains than Tradeweb Markets in March. Meanwhile, Intercontinental Exchange Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>) — Buy rating, price target $230 from $237 — will likely experience near-term cyclical headwinds in its mortgage and listing business.
Cboe Global Markets, Inc (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>) — Buy rating, price target $260 from $251 — and Tradeweb Markets could see a sequentially adverse product mix shift, given a lower contribution from SPX and muni bonds. 
Futures and index options usage CME Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CME#NASDAQ">CME</a>) — Underperform rating, price target $219 from $200 — and Cboe Global Markets on Robinhood is ramping nicely. La Nina has been a helpful catalyst for commodity futures. The Mr. Cooper and Rocket Mortgage deal will cost Intercontinental Exchange approximately 410 bps of servicing share and 130 bps of origination share, which the analyst noted amounts to a $72 million headwind.
