$133.11−3.02 (−2.2%)

Gekko Brief

AI summary

Insulet's week centers on efforts to improve retention among Type 2 diabetes customers using the Omnipod system, with the company rolling out enhanced sampling, adjusted incentives, improved support teams, and a broader rollout of the Omnipod Discover digital platform, alongside continued Omnipod 6 and global growth momentum. This follows Q2 2026 results in which revenue grew 22.7% to $801.7 million, exceeding guidance, though management flagged lower utilization and retention among Type 2 customers as a concern and the stock reacted with a -16.5% move on the last earnings date. Separate coverage notes the shares trading well below their 52-week high and underperforming peer DexCom (DXCM) and a medical devices ETF, while a securities investigation into the company was also announced.

The stock closes at $133.11, down 2.2%, sitting below both its 50-day average of $147.69 and 200-day average of $196.63, with the 50-day below the 200-day. The GekkoIndex reads 65.4, placing it in the Accumulation zone. Price sits 15.6% below Gekko Fair Value of $157.75.

Earnings are next due 5 November 2026, 37 days out, after close, falling outside a typical 20-day holding window. Smart money activity in the last 90 days shows one insider purchase and one Congressional buy with no sales. Seasonality over the next 20 trading days has averaged -1.4% across 5 years, rising in 2 of them, worth noting alongside the current trend readings.
