Dexcom Beats Q2 2026 Estimates, Raises Full-Year Outlook
Dexcom topped Wall Street forecasts with $1.31B in Q2 revenue and lifted its annual guidance, sending shares up nearly 9% after hours.
Dexcom posted stronger-than-expected second-quarter 2026 results Thursday, reporting adjusted earnings of $0.70 per share on revenue of $1.31 billion — clearing analyst consensus of $0.61 per share and $1.29 billion in sales.
