MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

DexCom
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in DexCom, Inc.:

  • DexCom, Inc. recently reported strong financial performance for the quarter ended July 30, 2026, with earnings per share of $0.70, which exceeded the analyst consensus estimate of $0.61 by $0.09, demonstrating the company's ability to generate higher profits than expected and potentially rewarding shareholders through improved valuation.
  • The company has received a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" from twenty-six ratings firms, with an average 12-month price target of $89.08, which is higher than the current stock price of $86.62, suggesting that Wall Street analysts believe the stock is undervalued and has room for further appreciation.
  • DexCom, Inc. has shown consistent revenue growth, with the most recent quarter reporting revenue of $1.31 billion, a 13.1% increase compared to the same quarter last year, indicating a strong demand for its continuous glucose monitoring systems and a growing market share in the diabetes care sector.
  • The stock has demonstrated significant momentum, reaching a 52-week high of $92.59 in August 2026, which is only slightly above the current price of $86.62, suggesting that the stock is trading near its peak and may continue to benefit from positive market sentiment and institutional investor interest.
  • Institutional investors have been increasing their stakes in DexCom, Inc., with several funds such as UBS AM and Janus Henderson Group PLC adding to their positions in the first and second quarters of 2026, which can signal confidence in the company's long-term growth prospects and provide additional support for the stock price.

DexCom
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in DexCom, Inc. for these reasons:

  • Insiders have been selling shares of DexCom, Inc. stock, with several executives and directors, including Director Nicholas Augustinos and EVP Jereme M. Sylvain, selling a total of 73,504 shares valued at $5,651,332 over the last ninety days, which may indicate a lack of confidence in the company's future performance or a desire to diversify personal holdings.
  • The company has a high beta of 1.42, meaning its stock price is more volatile than the overall market, which can lead to larger price swings and higher risk for investors, especially during periods of market uncertainty or economic downturns.
  • DexCom, Inc. has a price-to-earnings ratio of 34.24, which is relatively high compared to the broader market, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued and that investors are paying a premium for its growth, which could limit future upside potential if earnings growth slows.
  • Short interest in DexCom, Inc. has been increasing, with 17,263,625 shares shorted as of September 15, 2026, representing 4.59% of the float, which indicates that some investors are betting against the stock and could lead to downward pressure on the price if the short interest continues to rise.
  • The company's dividend yield is 0.00%, meaning it does not pay dividends, which may be a disadvantage for income-focused investors who prefer stocks that provide regular cash payments in addition to potential capital appreciation.
