DexCom stock rose sharply Monday after the maker of glucose monitors reported better-than-expected preliminary results for the fourth quarter.

DexCom posted total revenue of around $1.26 billion for the quarter, up 13% from a year prior and above analysts' consensus estimate of $1.24 billion. The company also reiterated its guidance for 2025 adjusted gross profit margin of 61%.

Shares rose 6.7% to $71.95, putting the stock on pace for its highest close since last September, according to Dow Jones Market Data. It was the top stock in the S&P 500 on Monday.

DexCom anticipates total revenue of $5.16 to $5.25 billion in 2026, representing growth of roughly 11% to 13%. Adjusted gross margin is forecast to expand to 63% to 64%.

Investors will want more signs that the company is turning a corner when it reports its full financial results for the fourth quarter on Feb. 12. The earnings print comes after a 2025 when DexCom dealt with slowing growth and device reliability issues that a short seller claimed led to hospitalizations and patient deaths.
