DexCom, Inc. · DXCM · FY2026 Q1 · Calendar Q2 2026
Dexcom Beats Q1 Estimates as G7 15-Day Sensor Drives Record Patient Starts
Dexcom reported a strong Q1 FY2026 with revenue of $1.19B (up 15% YoY, 12% organic) and EPS of $0.56, both beating consensus. The G7 15-day CGM launch is driving record new-patient starts, conversions, and gross margin expansion. Management reaffirmed full-year revenue guidance of $5.16-$5.20B and raised operating and EBITDA margin targets, while disclosing a 50-100 bps inflation headwind from oil and resin costs. Key catalysts ahead include potential CMS coverage for type-2 non-insulin patients, the international Stello launch, and an Investor Day. The stock gained 2.75% on the report and has since drifted +22%, with the analyst consensus target at $84.18 versus the current price of $73.81.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
