Summary

Dexcom, Inc. is a leading American multinational healthcare company specializing in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems for diabetes management. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in San Diego, California, the company has expanded its operations globally with manufacturing facilities in the United States, Malaysia, and Ireland. Dexcom's product line, including the G6, G7, and Stelo biosensors, aims to replace traditional fingerstick testing with real-time glucose tracking. In recent financial contexts, Dexcom has been identified by institutions like Morgan Stanley as a vulnerable healthcare incumbent, leading to spread trades where the company is shorted in favor of GLP-1 agonist innovators like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly.
