In the Q4 2020 Investor Letter, the fund highlighted a few stocks and Dexcom Inc (NASDAQ:DXCM) is one of them. Dexcom Inc (NASDAQ:DXCM) is a company that develops, manufactures, and distributes continuous glucose monitoring systems for diabetes management. In the last three months, Dexcom Inc (NASDAQ:DXCM) stock gained 13.6% and on March 2nd it had a closing price of $391.91. Here is what the fund said:
“Dexcom has developed and commercialized a leading continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system for people with diabetes, with the company’s share of the nearly $4 billion worldwide CGM market currently standing at more than 35%. Dexcom’s shares have lagged partly from market rotation to COVID-19-related underperformers, especially more cyclical names, as well as company-specific issues. Dexcom’s CGM’s pricing uncertainty, in combination with a new product timeline for G7—a much thinner, less expensive, fully disposable CGM—and competition from Libre (made by Abbott) all could reduce Dexcom’s market share. Dexcom has made a concerted effort to provide users broader access to the pharmacy versus durable medical equipment channels across a number of payers. Also, Dexcom established pharmacy pricing terms with some payers that were close to Libre prices in an effort to drive out-of-pocket costs for G6 users to levels not too dissimilar from Libre price points. We believe the price/mix pressure should lessen over time, while Dexcom still has attractive opportunities in the Type-2 diabetes market for years to come.”
