<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. The Portfolio Armor iPhone app can help you find the least expensive hedge that fits your risk tolerance and time frame.

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.

The End Of The Diabetes Industry? This Small Cap Could Upend The Business Models of Pharma Giants

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>AppLovin Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) gained 8.99% to $304.61</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>
<li>Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>) climbed 5.84% to $159.35</li>
<li>Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) rose 5.7% to $122.83</li>

Nasdaq 100 Leads Wall Street Rally As China Signals Openness To Fentanyl Talks, Easing Trade Tensions

U.S. stocks advanced across the board by midday Friday, with the S&amp;P 500 eyeing its ninth consecutive day of gains—poised for the longest winning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">streak since May 2024.</a>
Risk appetite remained firm, underpinned by solid corporate earnings and a stronger-than-expected April jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 177,000, beating expectations of 130,000 and easing concerns over tariff-related hiring slowdowns.
All eleven S&amp;P 500 sectors traded in positive territory, led slightly by financials over technology. Major indexes have now fully recovered from the declines sparked on April 2, when President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs across trading partners.
The Nasdaq 100 climbed to levels last seen in late March, capping a strong week for tech stocks. Among the Magnificent Seven, all were on pace to close the week higher except Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which slipped 4% as strong earnings were overshadowed by weaker sales in China.
The U.S. dollar index resumed its decline, pressured by renewed calls from President Trump for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates ahead of next week's policy meeting.
Treasury yields surged following the upbeat jobs data, with the 10-year note jumping 10 basis points to 4.31%, easing recession concerns entering the second quarter.
In commodities, oil prices fell back to $58 per barrel despite Thursday's rally on heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Gold rebounded 0.5%, set to snap a three-day losing streak, while natural gas prices jumped 4.4% to a two-week high.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 1% to $97,500, marking its fourth straight week of gains.

Editor&#8217;s Note: The article has been udpated to correct the Stock Movers list.
Wall Street pushed higher in midday trading, with the S&amp;P 500 on track for its eighth consecutive gain — its longest winning streak since November 2023. The index rose about 1% to 5,560, fully recovering the losses sustained after former President Donald Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">trade tariffs on April 2.</a>
Technology stocks led the rally, with the Nasdaq 100 climbing 1.5%. Strong and resilient corporate earnings continue to fuel investor appetite for risk, helping markets shrug off recent tariff concerns.
President Trump reassured investors, stating that progress on trade negotiations is going "very well" and that the timeline for the tax bill remains on schedule.
On the economic front, data continued to paint a weaker picture. After Wednesday's disappointing first-quarter GDP report, the ISM manufacturing PMI showed factory activity contracted for the second straight month in April. Meanwhile, price pressures surged at the fastest pace since June 2022, reflecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45139383/us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-in-april-as-tariffs-push-input-prices-toward-3-year-highs">inflationary effects from tariffs.</a>
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) was a standout gainer, soaring 8.60% after delivering a blowout quarter that beat expectations across the board, reinforcing its leadership in cloud and AI. The stock reached its highest level since late January.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also topped estimates, with shares climbing more than 4%.
Sector-wise, technology outperformed, while health care lagged. Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) plunged over 9% after the pharmaceutical giant cut its 2025 guidance.
Crude oil erased early losses, rebounding to $58 per barrel after briefly dipping below $57. Gold slipped 2.2% to a two-week low.
The U.S. dollar strengthened to its highest level in over two weeks, bolstered by manufacturing surveys showing rising input costs tied to tariffs.
Treasury yields climbed for a second straight session, with the 10-year yield rising to 4.21%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged past the $97,000 mark, hitting its highest level in over two months.

Earnings Scheduled For May 1, 2025

In the current market session, DexCom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>) share price is at $71.25, after a 0.57% decrease. Over the past month, the stock spiked by 5.85%, but over the past year, it actually fell by 44.07%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>How Does DexCom P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
DexCom has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 57.68 of the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

DexCom's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NYSE">DXCM</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.43% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 11.01 million shares sold short, which is 3.6% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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/2025/1744383625_0_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for DexCom has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more 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 4.38%, 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>
