Some Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:PCOR) shareholders may be a little concerned to see that the Independent Non-Executive Director, Kevin O’Connor, recently sold a substantial US$3.5m worth of stock at a price of US$62.04 per share. However, it's crucial to note that they remain very much invested in the stock and that sale only reduced their holding by 3.9%.

Procore Technologies Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

The Founder, Craig Courtemanche, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$4.8m worth of shares at a price of US$73.90 each. While we don't usually like to see insider selling, it's more concerning if the sales take place at a lower price. The silver lining is that this sell-down took place above the latest price (US$61.40). So it may not tell us anything about how insiders feel about the current share price.

Does Procore Technologies Boast High Insider Ownership?

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. It's great to see that Procore Technologies insiders own 7.2% of the company, worth about US$630m. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
