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 beat the analyst consensus estimate of $0.61 by $0.09, and revenue of $1.31 billion, exceeding the expected $1.29 billion, demonstrating the company's ability to outperform market expectations and drive shareholder value.
  • The company's stock is currently trading at $86.90, which is below the average analyst price target of $89.74, suggesting potential upside for investors as the consensus rating remains a "Moderate Buy" with 21 analysts issuing Buy ratings and only one Sell rating, indicating broad institutional confidence in the stock's future growth.
  • DexCom, Inc. is expanding its market reach by becoming the official continuous glucose monitor for Team Novo Nordisk, a partnership that leverages the global visibility of the diabetes care brand to increase adoption of its Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6 systems, potentially driving higher sales volumes and brand loyalty in the competitive CGM market.
  • The company has demonstrated consistent year-over-year revenue growth, with the most recent quarter showing a 13.1% increase compared to the same period last year, and the prior quarter showing 15.0% growth, indicating a robust and accelerating demand for its continuous glucose monitoring technology among people with diabetes and healthcare providers.
  • Institutional investor interest in DexCom, Inc. has been strong, with 97.75% of the company's stock owned by institutional investors and hedge funds, and recent new positions acquired by firms such as Bright Rock Capital Management LLC and Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management Co. Ltd., signaling that sophisticated investors are confident in the company's long-term strategic position in the healthcare equipment sector.

DexCom
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • Insider selling activity has been significant in recent months, with executives and directors such as Sadie Stern, Nicholas Augustinos, and Jereme Sylvain selling a combined total of over 16,000 shares in September 2026 alone, and insiders collectively selling 49,313 shares worth approximately $3.9 million in the last 90 days, which may signal a lack of confidence from those with the most intimate knowledge of the company's operations.
  • The company's stock has a beta of 1.48, indicating that it is more volatile than the overall market, and its price has fluctuated significantly within its 52-week range of $54.11 to $92.59, exposing investors to higher risk of price swings that may not be suitable for those with a lower risk tolerance.
  • Short interest in DexCom, Inc. has been relatively high, with 17,263,625 shares shorted as of September 15, 2026, representing approximately 4.59% of the float, and a days-to-cover ratio of 4.98, suggesting that a significant portion of the market is betting against the stock's future performance, which could lead to further downward pressure on the share price.
  • The company's P/E ratio of 33.47 is relatively high compared to the broader market, indicating that investors are paying a premium for its earnings, and any future disappointment in earnings growth or revenue performance could lead to a significant re-rating of the stock, as the market may no longer justify the current valuation multiple.
  • DexCom, Inc. faces increasing competition in the continuous glucose monitoring market, with new entrants such as Oura, which is preparing for a $15.6 billion IPO, and established players like Abbott Laboratories, which may erode DexCom's market share and pricing power, particularly as the market becomes more saturated and price-sensitive.
