DexCom, Inc. (DXCM) Investigation:
On July 26, 2024, the price of DexCom shares cratered $43.85 (-40%) after the company held its Q2 2024 earnings call the day before.
The investigation focuses on the propriety of DexCom’s disclosures about its sales force expansion which, just a few months ago, company management touted as “help[ing] us better capitalize on the significant opportunities ahead.”
The company revealed, among other disappointments, that: (1) its new patient shortfall was approximately 70,000; and (2) U.S. revenue per patient stepped down faster than expected. In addition, the company slashed its full year 2024 revenue guidance and blamed its disruptive sales force expansion.
During the earnings call, JPMorgan analyst Robbie Marcus said, “I’m just kind of in shock at how big of a disruption and a downward guide it is on a sales force expansion[]” and “I feel like there has to be more going on.”
In response, CEO Kevin Sayer revealed that, with respect to the new patient shortage, the primary culprit was “[o]bviously, disruption on the sales force expansion side.” Sayer further revealed that: “This was a different expansion for us than the other ones. In the other ones we’ve done, we literally took territories and just divided them geographically. In this time, we changed roles. We changed positions people called on. It was a much more disruptive expansion we’ve had in the past[.]”
“We’re focused on whether DexCom may have become aware of how its sales force changes would disrupt its competitive position and financial results,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
