Key Catalysts

Tandem Diabetes' strong earnings growth trajectory is expected to have continued in the third quarter, courtesy of a strong global surge in sales of its t:slim X2  insulin pump. Particularly, the pump has been registering strong momentum within the Animas customer segment.

The positive customer reception for the pump and the Tandem Device Updater are expected to have driven growth for the company during the third quarter.

Solid adoption of the recently-launched Basal-IQ technology among healthcare providers is also expected to have contributed to the company’s top line during the quarter.

Internationally, over the recent past, majority of the company’s sales have been driven by an increasing number of Animas conversions. We expect this trend to have continued through the to-be-reported quarter.
