▼ #24 N100 – DexCom dropped fifteen spots from #9 to #24 on the ST Top 25 N100 List thanks to a 5.37% weekly loss. $DXCM was the most fragile stock on the list.
To begin the year, DexCom bursted out of the gates like a Russian race horse. The medical equipment company quickly ran up its digits, reaching a YTD gain of 78% by November.
Since then, $DXCM shares have faded and dropped back below $600/share.
