DexCom, Inc. (DXCM, Financial) sells a continuous glucose monitoring device for insulin dependent diabetes. DexCom reported very strong results. Revenues grew 55% in the quarter, and the company reiterated guidance for continued exceptional growth. The company launched its “share” system, which allows parents or spouses to receive the users’ blood glucose data from the users’ handheld devices, an important new feature. And they filed for approval of their next generation offering that will transmit data directly to a smartphone, eliminating the need to carry a receiver. Strong new patient starts, more accurate and feature rich products, and an expanding addressable market make for a company that, we believe, can grow rapidly for a considerable time go forward.
