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 second-quarter financial results, beating analyst expectations with earnings per share of $0.70 against a consensus estimate of $0.61, while revenue of $1.31 billion exceeded the projected $1.29 billion, demonstrating robust demand for its continuous glucose monitoring systems.
  • The company has received significant institutional support, with the Saudi Central Bank increasing its holdings by 87.1% in the second quarter and the Virginia Retirement Systems establishing a new position worth approximately $36.28 million, indicating growing confidence among major global investors.
  • Wall Street analysts maintain a positive outlook, with a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and a price target of $88.71, which suggests potential upside from the current stock price of $83.88, supported by recent upgrades from firms like Piper Sandler and Royal Bank of Canada.
  • DexCom, Inc. continues to show strong year-over-year growth, with quarterly revenue increasing by 13.1% and net margins reaching 20.12%, reflecting the company's ability to expand its market share in the diabetes care sector while maintaining profitability.
  • The stock has demonstrated strong momentum, hitting a 52-week high of $92.59 in August 2026, which is significantly above its 52-week low of $54.11, suggesting that the market is increasingly valuing the company's long-term growth potential and product innovation.

DexCom
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • There is a notable trend of insider selling, with executives such as Kevin Sayer and Sadie Stern selling significant portions of their holdings in the last three months, which may signal that company insiders are taking advantage of the recent stock price appreciation to reduce their personal exposure.
  • The company's valuation is relatively high, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 33.15, which may limit further upside potential if growth slows or if the broader market becomes more sensitive to valuation multiples in the healthcare sector.
  • DexCom, Inc. carries a beta of 1.42, indicating that its stock is more volatile than the overall market, which could lead to larger price swings and higher risk for investors who are sensitive to market fluctuations.
  • Short interest has been increasing in recent months, with shares shorted rising to 16.5 million as of August 2026, suggesting that some market participants are betting against the stock's future performance, which could create downward pressure on the price.
  • The company does not pay a dividend, with a yield of 0.00%, which may be a drawback for income-focused investors who prefer stocks that provide regular cash flow in addition to capital appreciation.
