EverCommerce Inc. (NASDAQ:EVCM) shareholders may have reason to be concerned, as several insiders sold their shares over the past year. When evaluating insider transactions, knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more beneficial than knowing whether they are selling, as the latter can be open to many interpretations. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more.

While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

EverCommerce Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the President, Matthew Feierstein, for US$271k worth of shares, at about US$10.88 per share. So what is clear is that an insider saw fit to sell at around the current price of US$9.98. While we don't usually like to see insider selling, it's more concerning if the sales take place at a lower price. In this case, the big sale took place at around the current price, so it's not too bad (but it's still not a positive).
