DexCom Hits Five-Year Low as GLP-1 Fears Overpower Strong Quarterly Results

Investor confidence is sliding due to regulatory scrutiny, litigation, margin pressures and growing GLP-1 adoption.

Overview

  • DexCom shares are down about 25% this year and have fallen to levels last seen in 2020, compressing the forward P/E to roughly 26.
  • Third-quarter revenue reached about $1.2 billion, up roughly 22% year over year, with adjusted EPS of $0.61, up 35.6%.
  • The FDA issued a warning letter over unapproved device changes and announced a Class I recall for certain CGM receivers.
  • Several law firms have filed class-action suits alleging false advertising and device malfunctions tied to DexCom’s CGM systems.
  • DexCom estimates it still added tens of thousands of new customers in Q3, while the average analyst price target of $87 suggests sizable upside from current levels.
