DexCom Inc

President Donald Trump announced tougher-than-anticipated tariffs on Wednesday, but there are some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">notable exemptions</a>.
Trump excluded pharmaceuticals from the new tariffs, likely a relief for the industry under pressure following his prior comments suggesting a 25% tariff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on pharmaceutical imports</a>. 
&#8220;The United States can no longer produce enough antibiotics to treat our sick,&#8221; Trump said Wednesday. &#8220;We have a tremendous problem, we have to go to foreign countries to treat our sick. If anything ever happened from a war standpoint, we wouldn&#8217;t be able to do it.&#8221;
The biopharma industry has historically been shielded from tariffs, including during Trump's first term. Investors had feared global tariffs could disrupt the sector, given its significant manufacturing presence in Europe. The Morningstar <a target="_blank" href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/biopharma-industry-exempt-global-10-tariff-we-still-see-margin-tax-rate-risks" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> says that with the U.S. importing approximately $200 billion in pharmaceuticals in 2024, a 10% tariff could have resulted in a $20 billion cost to the industry, with some of the largest firms facing annual tariffs of up to $1 billion.

Per the Morningstar report on Thursday, a future global tariff on pharmaceuticals remains a risk despite the exemption, potentially pressuring gross margins and long-term tax rates. Companies may need to adjust their manufacturing strategies, though large-cap biopharma firms are expected to maintain strong economic positions. Tariffs could drive near-term margin pressures and lead to long-term U.S. manufacturing investments.
However, new facilities would take years to gain approval, especially with ongoing FDA staff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44634464/despite-headwinds-biotech-sell-off-could-offer-buying-opportunity-bofa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reductions affecting inspections</a>. If U.S. manufacturing increases, corporate tax rates could rise closer to the current 21% rate &#8211; a level Trump aims to maintain through the Republican-controlled Congress.
However, the medical device industry has not been spared, with diabetes device makers appearing to be the hardest hit.
Diabetes device manufacturers, including Dexcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>), Insulet Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PODD#NYSE">PODD</a>) and Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TNDM#NASDAQ">TNDM</a>) are among the most affected.
Larger cardiac and orthopedic device makers, such as Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>), Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) and Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZBH#NYSE">ZBH</a>) have seen minimal share movement and are expected to shift manufacturing to mitigate tariff effects.
The report <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/medical-device-industry-swept-up-tariffs-diabetes-device-makers-bear-brunt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">notes</a> that among diabetes device makers, Tandem Diabetes appears particularly vulnerable due to its reliance on foreign components and manufacturing, limiting its ability to shift production.
The sector could face further challenges if European competitors, such as Roche Holdings AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) and Ypsomed, gain an advantage or if Europe imposes reciprocal tariffs, intensifying competitive pressures.

DexCom's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

DexCom's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NYSE">DXCM</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.0% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.87 million shares sold short, which is 2.86% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.65 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>DexCom Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742571016_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for DexCom has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing DexCom's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, DexCom's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.16%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

10 Health Care Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

On Thursday, Dexcom, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>) fourth-quarter&nbsp;revenue rose 8% year-over-year to&nbsp;$1.114 billion,&nbsp;beating the analyst consensus <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimate of&nbsp;$1.104 billion</a>.
U.S. revenue rose by 4%, while international revenue rose by 17% on a reported basis and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43728537/dexcom-tops-sales-forecasts-as-international-growth-soars-19" rel="noreferrer noopener">19% on an organic basis</a>.
Outlook: Dexcom reaffirmed its FY25 guidance for revenue of $4.60 billion (vs. cons. of $4.61 billion), adjusted gross profit margin of around 64%–65%, and<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> adjusted operating margin of 21%</a>.
In December, Abbott Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) reached an agreement with DexCom to settle all outstanding patent disputes related to continuous glucose monitoring products.
The agreement <a target="_blank" href="https://abbott.mediaroom.com/Abbott-Agrees-to-Global-Continuous-Glucose-Monitoring-Litigation-Settlement-with-Dexcom" rel="noreferrer noopener">will</a> dismiss all pending cases in courts and patent offices worldwide.

Analyst Reactions: William Blair writes that DME's market share remained steady in Q4, and productivity has improved as planned, following a 40% commercial team expansion last year.
The analyst says the management expects further gains in productivity and another record year for new patient additions in 2025.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While the benefits of these improvements will take several quarters to materialize, especially as 2024 execution challenges fade in the second half, analyst Margaret Kaczor Andrew sees multiple growth drivers that could boost performance in 2025 and sustain revenue and earnings growth in the long term.
Andrew said that DexCom's challenges in 2024 may be temporary. She notes that DexCom is positioned for long-term growth, supported by its expanding product lineup, including G7, Dexcom One, and Stelo, and opportunities to reach new patient groups.
However, the analyst points out that DexCom's growth depends on adding new patients, particularly those with early-stage diabetes, with limited clinical data and reimbursement support.
Competition from major players like Medtronic Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDT#NYSE">MDT</a>) and Abbott Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) could also impact DexCom's expansion by capturing a share of new or existing patients in the continuous glucose monitoring market.
Morgan Stanley analyst Patrick Wood maintains DexCom with an Equal-Weight rating and raises the price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DXCM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">target from $75 to $82</a>.
Canaccord Genuity analyst William Plovanic maintains DexCom with a Buy and raises the price target from $99 to $103.
Price Action: DXCM stock is up 6.22% at $89.32 at last check Friday.

DexCom Unusual Options Activity

Stocks are headed for weekly gains, with the Dow Jones dipping slightly and the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq trading just above the flatline Friday. Traders are digesting weaker-than-expected retail sales and the potential for peace talks<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43732115/explosion-rocks-chernobyl-nuclear-site-as-zelenskyy-signals-readiness-for-peace-talks"> between Russia and Ukraine.&nbsp;</a>
Retail sales in the U.S. fell 0.9% month-over-month in January, significantly worse than the anticipated 0.1% drop. However, markets are largely shrugging off the weaker-than-expected retail sales figures which were likely affected by January's cold weather and California wildfires, as well as the upward revision of December results.
Geopolitical tensions eased slightly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43732115/explosion-rocks-chernobyl-nuclear-site-as-zelenskyy-signals-readiness-for-peace-talks"> told reporters</a> at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that he is willing to participate in Trump&#8217;s peace initiative and eventual talks with Russia.
The price of Crude Oil slid another 0.52% Friday and is down 9.9% over the past month as the market reacted to President Donald Trump&#8216;s plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on trade partners and news of potential peace talks to end the war in Ukraine.
The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell to below the 4.5% threshold on Friday, extending its pullback after January's retail sales data may have indicated some weakness in the U.S. consumer. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rose 0.7%. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose above the $98,000 level on a midday rally Friday and XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) climbed more than 7%.

Stocks Head For Weekly Gains, US Treasury Yields Fall Below 4.5%: What's Driving Markets Friday?

DexCom shares are trading higher after Morgan Stanley and Canaccord Genuity raised their respective price targets on the stock.

DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>) reported weaker-than-expected earnings for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DXCM/earnings">fourth quarter on Thursday</a>.
The company posted quarterly earnings of 45 cents per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of 50 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $1.140 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.104 billion.
&#8220;In 2024, we implemented our largest US commercial sales force expansion, had two major product launches with Dexcom One+ and Stelo and submitted our G7 15-day product to the FDA,&#8221; said Kevin Sayer, Dexcom&#8217;s chairman, president and CEO. &#8220;As we enter 2025, we look forward to building on these investments as we unlock the next wave of access to Dexcom CGM globally.&#8221;
Dexcom reaffirmed its FY25 guidance for revenue of $4.60 billion (vs. cons. of $4.61 billion), adjusted gross profit margin of around 64%–65%, and adjusted operating margin of 21%. The company sees adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 30%.
DexCom shares gained 0.3% to close at $84.09 on Thursday.
