If you sized SANA small after the May post, the thesis is tracking; consider letting winners run while watching for pullbacks to add. New capital? Size cautiously—it's still a single-patient read-out—but the upside/skew remains attractive as more data rolls in.
And if you're long legacy diabetes treatment companies, consider hedging them. Although Sana is aiming to cure T1 diabetes, its treatment could potentially impact the market for management of some forms of T2 diabetes as well (e.g., insulin therapy).

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With DXCM

DexCom's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NYSE">DXCM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.0% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.38 million shares sold short, which is 3.06% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.8 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/2025/1752091256_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for DexCom has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less 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 5.23%, 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>

What Does the Market Think About DexCom?

WIIM

Shares of glucose monitor and insulin pump stocks are trading lower after the CMS proposed that continuous glucose monitors and insulin infusion pumps be reclassified under the frequent and substantial servicing payment category.

In the current session, DexCom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>) is trading at $86.18, after a 1.59% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 0.92%, and in the past year, by 24.76%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750867228_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does DexCom P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
DexCom has a better P/E ratio of 65.84 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 53.6 of the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry. Ideally, one might believe that DexCom Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750867228_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

Truist Securities Initiates Coverage On DexCom with Buy Rating, Announces Price Target of $102

Goldman Sachs analyst David Roman initiated coverage on three companies, explaining that diabetes technology, including insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), is expected to grow at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/diabetes">strong double-digit pace</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insulet</h3>
Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PODD#NASDAQ">PODD</a>), citing the company to benefit from accelerating the adoption of patch pump technology as it is the only participant in the category currently.
Goldman Sachs initiated Insulet on Thursday with a Buy rating and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PODD/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a price target of $380</a>. The analyst highlights the company&#8217;s pipeline, which can potentially strengthen its relative position. Sustained top-line growth should support outsized adjusted EBITDA results and yield meaningful upside over the next several years.
Analyst David Roman writes, &#8220;We expect Omnipod's superior form factor and relative differentiation as a result to be the key contributor to Insulet's share capture as the insulin pump market moves into its next leg of adoption. In our view, the company is best positioned for the opportunities ahead in insulin delivery growth.&#8221;

Company Plans US Launch</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dexcom</h3>
Goldman Sachs initiated DexCom Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NYSE">DXCM</a>) with a Buy rating and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DXCM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $104</a>, supported by a constructive view of the company&#8217;s technology and long-term opportunity set.
Roman adds the potential upside from consumer-related adoption and strong P&amp;L leverage, which should continue through the balance of 2025.
&#8220;Taking all patient cohorts into consideration, we expect Dexcom to remain ahead in the established Type 1 and Type 2 MDI segments. And in the higher growth T2 Basal and non-insulin populations, we expect Dexcom will take some patient share from Abbott over the intermediate term, off a much lower relative base&#8230;&#8221;
The CGM market is still mainly a two-player race between Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) and DexCom, Roman says.
However, the pump market is becoming more crowded, with more companies entering and customer needs changing. Hence, Goldman Sachs reiterated Abbott as a Buy and Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TNDM#NASDAQ">TNDM</a>) as Neutral.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beta Bionics</h3>
Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on newly listed Beta Bionics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBNX#NASDAQ">BBNX</a>). The diabetes management solutions provider closed its upsized IPO of 13.8 million at $17&nbsp;per share in January, raising approximately <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43415288/beta-bionics-announces-closing-of-234-6-million-initial-public-offering-and-full-exercise-of-under" rel="noreferrer noopener">$212.1 million in gross proceeds</a>.
The analyst initiated a Neutral rating and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BBNX/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $16</a>, noting the company's iLet technology is well-suited for a targeted segment of the Type 1 market.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>iLet is still in the early adoption phase, so its short-term growth is expected to be stronger than that of other diabetes-related companies and similar-sized medical technology firms.</li>
<li>Also, market estimates mostly reflect the growth potential over the next few years. The stock's valuation also seems to factor in this expected growth and the likelihood that the company will need to raise more money to reach break-even cash flow.</li>
</ul>
Price Action: PODD stock is up 0.14% at $324.31, BBNX stock is up 10% at $16.90, and DXCM stock is up 1% at $85.71 at the last check Friday.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Threat To The Diabetes Cash Cow</h2>
Years ago, in a conversation with an endocrinologist, I mentioned there was no incentive to cure diabetes, giving the money companies were making from managing it (with testing supplies, insulin, etc.). He replied that the incumbents had no incentive to cure it, but a startup company would. Now it looks like one has—at least in one patient. Sana Biotechnology, Inc.  (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SANA#NASDAQ">SANA</a>) has developed a one-time treatment that could upend the entire diabetes industry.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How It Works</h2>
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system destroys the pancreatic beta cells, which are responsible for producing insulin. While transplants of donor islets—clusters of cells that include beta cells—can restore insulin production, they require scarce donor tissue and lifelong immunosuppressive drugs, which carry serious risks. As a result, insulin remains the only practical treatment for nearly all Type 1 diabetics.&nbsp;Sana has successfully engineered donor-derived islets to evade immune rejection, enabling a Type 1 diabetic to produce his own insulin, without the need for immunosuppressive drugs.
This isn't just theory. In a clinical trial at Uppsala University in Sweden, Sana's genetically engineered pancreatic islets were injected into the forearm of a Type 1 diabetic. As the company noted in its annual report, this patient is now&nbsp;more than three months post-treatment, making his own insulin for the first time in 30 years—with no immunosuppressive therapy.
A recent presentation by Sana shows the results of this experiment so far. The C-peptide mentioned there is a biomarker of insulin production.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="578" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081738/Clinical-Results-1024x578.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13069" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081738/Clinical-Results-1024x578.jpg 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081738/Clinical-Results-300x169.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081738/Clinical-Results-768x433.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081738/Clinical-Results.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Slides from Sana's <a href="https://ir.sana.com/static-files/1f3a1d8c-24eb-4695-9380-747332ddae2a">May 2025 Corporate Presentation</a>.</figcaption></figure>
As the subsequent slide in the presentation shows, the patient was producing no insulin before the procedure, but has been producing insulin consistently since.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="580" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081849/C-Peptide-Slide-1024x580.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13070" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081849/C-Peptide-Slide-1024x580.jpg 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081849/C-Peptide-Slide-300x170.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081849/C-Peptide-Slide-768x435.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081849/C-Peptide-Slide.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Plan For Mass Production</h2>
The islet cells used in that trial came from a cadaveric donor. Sana's goal is to scale this breakthrough using&nbsp;stem cell–derived islets—which contain insulin-producing beta cells—that can be manufactured in large quantities and delivered off the shelf. The result would be a&nbsp;one-time treatment&nbsp;that could eliminate the need for insulin, blood sugar monitoring, and other diabetes therapies.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="575" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081940/One-time-treatment-1024x575.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13071" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081940/One-time-treatment-1024x575.jpg 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081940/One-time-treatment-300x169.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081940/One-time-treatment-768x431.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19081940/One-time-treatment.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Larger dose‑escalation cohorts under way, with 6‑ and 12‑month read‑outs expected over the next year.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Potential Market Impact</h3>
If the current results hold up, Sana's therapy would convert Type‑1 diabetes from a&nbsp;chronic drug‑and‑device market&nbsp;into a&nbsp;one‑time cell‑therapy market—a seismic shift for incumbents.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="963" height="547" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19082028/Market-Impact.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13072" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19082028/Market-Impact.png 963w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19082028/Market-Impact-300x170.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19082028/Market-Impact-768x436.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px" /></figure>
As you can see above, diabetes therapies comprise 75% of Novo Nordisk A/S&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) sales and 43% of Ely Lilly and Company&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>). For DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>) and Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PODD#NASDAQ">PODD</a>), diabetes is pretty much their entire businesses.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Timeline That Matters</h2>
Some potential milestones to keep in mind for Sana headlines that could impact the diabetes therapy industry.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="527" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19082137/Timeline-1024x527.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13073" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19082137/Timeline-1024x527.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19082137/Timeline-300x154.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19082137/Timeline-768x395.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19082137/Timeline.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h2>
Sana has not&nbsp;cured&nbsp;diabetes yet—but a&nbsp;&gt; 3‑month insulin‑free human case without immunosuppression&nbsp;is more evidence than the market usually prices into chronically‑treated franchises. Shareholders of the incumbent companies mentioned above ought to consider hedging.

Enterprising investors might also consider adding a small position in SANA. There's asymmetric upside potential if follow‑up cohorts validate the initial results. My subscribers and I bought shares in the company earlier this year, and then LEAPS on it last week, now that the stock has options traded on it.

Dexcom Promotes Jake Leach To President And COO

DexCom's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NYSE">DXCM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.61% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.61 million shares sold short, which is 3.47% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.97 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/2025/1746626419_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for DexCom has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less 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 4.19%, 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>

Duolingo, CoreWeave And DexCom Are Among Top 10 Large-Cap Gainers Last Week (Apr 28-May 2): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

U.S. stocks powered higher Friday after signs emerged that China may be open to negotiating a resolution to the fentanyl crisis, signaling a potential softening of trade tensions with the U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45172683/wall-street-eyes-9th-straight-day-of-gains-apple-falls-as-chinese-sales-disappoint-whats-driving-markets-friday">and lifting investor sentiment.</a>
Sources close to the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/beijing-weighs-fentanyl-offer-to-u-s-to-start-trade-talks-287cf233">revealed </a>that Wang Xiaohong, China's minister of public security and a senior cabinet member, has been inquiring about what President Donald Trump's team expects from China regarding its role in the production of fentanyl precursors.
The inquiry marks a possible turning point in the long-standing diplomatic standoff between Washington and Beijing.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Markets Cheer Diplomatic Hopes</h3>
The S&amp;P 500 Index jumped 1.5% to 5,685 points, on the way to its ninth straight day of gains and returning to levels last seen in late March.
Since hitting a short-term bottom in April, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) has rallied 17.5%, showcasing the index's strong recovery and renewed investor confidence.
The Nasdaq 100 rose even more aggressively during Friday trading, climbing 1.7% and above 20,100 points, driven by surging tech stocks. The index now trades at highs last seen on March 26.
Small caps staged an even sharper rebound. The Russell 2000 index – tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) – rallied 2.3% to 2,020 points, erasing losses incurred after the April 2 tariff announcements. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beijing's Strategy: Leverage Fentanyl To Reset Trade Talks?</h3>
According to people familiar with the matter, China is exploring the possibility of sending Wang Xiaohong to the U.S. or arranging a high-level meeting with U.S. officials in a neutral location. 
The talks are described as fluid, but one consistent thread is that Beijing is seeking reciprocal movement from Washington on tariffs, WSJ reports.
The gesture could open the door to wider negotiations. On Friday, China's Commerce Ministry shifted its tone, stating that it was considering beginning discussions with the U.S. to halt the ongoing trade war. 
This marked a notable departure from its earlier stance, where it demanded that the U.S. first roll back tariffs as a precondition for any dialogue.
The thaw in rhetoric comes at a critical moment for China's economy, which is grappling with a prolonged real estate slump, falling prices and subdued business sentiment. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tech Stocks Lead Friday&#8217;s Rally</h3>
Several large-cap tech names were at the forefront of the Nasdaq's rally. Among the top gainers:
<ul>
<li>DexCom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>) soared 15% to $80.80</li>

<li>Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) advanced 6.32% to $122.69</li>
