DexCom Stock Rises From the Ashes: A Breakout You Can’t Ignore

by January 18, 2025
written by January 18, 2025

As advancements in medical technology continue to shape the healthcare landscape, DexCom, Inc. (DXCM) stands out with its innovative continuous glucose monitoring solutions. Recent price action suggests that DXCM’s stock price has triggered a potentially new bullish run. In this article, I will examine the technical and fundamental factors behind this positive outlook and outline a risk-defined options strategy — all identified via the OptionsPlay Strategy Center within StockCharts.com.

After consolidating between $75 and $80 over the past two months, DXCM’s stock price recently broke out of this trading range with impressive relative strength.

  • Range Breakout. The stock’s breakout above $80 marks a decisive breakout from its consolidation zone.
  • Outperformance. The breakout has been coupled with outperformance to the S&P 500.
  • Upside Target. Given the breakout, there is potential for DXCM’s stock price to fill the gap up to the $107.50 level.

Beyond the charts, DXCM’s fundamentals support its premium valuation:

  • Premium but justified. While trading at 39x forward earnings, DXCM’s superior growth expectations and higher net margins than peers suggest that this valuation is justified.
  • Potential for substantial upside. Robust demand in the continuous glucose monitoring market and DexCom’s leadership position the company to capitalize on ongoing trends. The combination of strong growth prospects and healthy margins provides the potential for further appreciation.

Options Strategy

Based on this bullish thesis, the OptionsPlay Strategy Center highlights a bull put spread.

  • Sell: February 28, 2025, $84 Put at $5.40
  • Buy: February 28, 2025, $77 Put at $2.42
  • Net Credit: $2.98 per share (or $298 total per contract, since each contract represents 100 shares)

Trade Details

  • Maximum Potential Reward: $298
  • Maximum Potential Risk: $402
  • Breakeven Point: $81.02
  • Probability of Profit: 58.58%

This strategy benefits from time decay and a bullish outlook, providing limited risk and a defined reward. At expiration, profits are earned if DXCM’s stock price remains above the breakeven level.
