    That clean fuels deal and the steady drumbeat of upbeat coverage have arrived on the back of a roughly 24% 3 month share price return and a powerful multiyear total shareholder return track record, suggesting momentum is still very much building at the current share price of $78.83.

    If you are weighing how much more room a name like Weatherford might have to run, it is a good time to scan fast growing stocks with high insider ownership for other fast moving opportunities.

    With shares up strongly and analysts lifting targets, Weatherford now trades close to consensus expectations. This raises a key question for investors: is there still a genuine buying opportunity here, or is future growth already priced in?
