Aug 4, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.
Dexcom Inc. (DXCM) is a leader in the production of continuous glucose monitors, benefiting from a substantial growth opportunity due to the rising diabetes prevalence and increasing access to monitoring devices. With recent earnings showing impressive revenue growth of over 22% and free cash flow doubling to surpass $1 billion, the company's performance appears robust. Experts have noted a long runway for growth, particularly among diabetic patients utilizing GLP-1 medications and pre-diabetic individuals. Although the stock trades at a high earnings multiple of 35x, the strong return on equity of 30% reflects its dominance in the market. Analysts have recommended strategically adjusting stop-loss levels while targeting price ranges of approximately $85 to $86, indicating a positive outlook for the stock despite recent fluctuations.

Premium contentPremium contentWe reiterate DXCM as a TOP PICK. The manufacture of continuous glucose monitors sees plenty of growth opportunity ahead for diabetic patients using GLP-1 medicines to monitor blood sugar levels along with those pre-diabetic patients using an over-the-counter monitoring device trying to avoid the disease. Recently reported earnings showed a 22% growth in revenues and free cash flow has doubled over the last two years to exceed $1 billion. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $49) to $56, looking to achieve $86 -- upside potential of 22%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $86.42)Premium contentDXCM is the leading maker of continuous glucose monitoring systems in the US. With diabetes being the fastest growing health issue, and only 1% of those affected having access to this type of monitoring, they have a long, long runway for growth. They have developed devices for the larger Type 2 (non-insulin using) group and has been very successful at securing insurance company inclusion. Recently reported revenue growth exceeded 20% and cash reserves are growing, while the company buys back shares. It trades at a heady 35x earnings, but the 30% ROE demonstrates its strong market dominance. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $49, looking to achieve $85 -- upside potential of 32%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $85.35)DXCM has been hit hard as investors fear new success of weight loss drugs will reduce demand for diabetes monitoring products. DXCM is not alone in the decline. But it is still growing, and recent comments by analysts suggest the sell off is quite overdone. It has new products on tap and is strong financially. Market share remains robust. Best Buy has started selling its products (not material on its own, but shows an expanding footprint). We would see DXCM as worth holding. Because it is 33X as large was WELL, they are hard to compare. WELL, being smaller, could potentially rise more, but comes with much more overall risk. From a safety and valuation standpoint, we would, today, prefer DXCM.
