We wouldn't blame Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:PCOR) shareholders if they were a little worried about the fact that Kevin O'Connor, the Independent Non-Executive Director recently netted about US$938k selling shares at an average price of US$60.99. However, that sale only accounted for 1.6% of their holding, so arguably it doesn't say much about their conviction.
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Independent Director, William Griffith, for US$15m worth of shares, at about US$72.30 per share. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold at a lower price. The good news is that this large sale was at well above current price of US$58.01. So it may not tell us anything about how insiders feel about the current share price.

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. It's great to see that Procore Technologies insiders own 9.9% of the company, worth about US$912m. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
