TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We 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)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

DXCM 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%

Their last quarter was very bad. He lost faith.

DON'T BUY

Their quarter missed badly and they haven't fully explained why.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

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.

DON'T BUY

Does well when (sadly) diabetes is booming. The fear is that drugs develop from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly will cut down on diabetes. He tends to agree. Be careful here.

COMMENT
Shares are expensive, but their diabetes machine is the best. Likes it, but these expensive stocks have had a hard time in this market.
COMMENT
They make blood sugar monitors used by diabetics. One of the best growth stocks of the last 5 years, from $60 from end-2017 to $659 last November. Since then, it's plunged to $462. Today, the company reported Q4 sales were in line and issued cautious guidance for 2022. They under-promise and over-delivered.
BUY
They make blood-sugar monitor for diabetics. He has long liked this. Performed well last year until Covid delayed the development in their new device which happened when the market lost interest in health stocks. But a few months ago, it started to come back. Yesterday, they reported a mixed quarter with a nice revenue beat, but small earnings miss, yet offered conservative guidance expand overseas. It fell 5% today. Likes that they're spending money to grow and their conservative nature.
COMMENT
The stock got overheated and has pulled back. It's up over 50% YTD. The quarter they reported in late-October was imperfect with a big earnings beat but a smaller sales beat compared to previous quarter. Their new blood sugar monitor is rolling out in only some key markets in 2021, not in all key ones until 2023. Both factors led to the stock getting hurt. Today, management guided for 15-20% growth through 2025, but fell short of expectations. The stock sold off today.
HOLD
Medical devices. Monitor diabetes. Recurring revenue from disposable sensors. M&A potential. Really likes the sector. Stick with it.
