Goldman Sachs analyst David Roman initiated coverage on three companies, explaining that diabetes technology, including insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), is expected to grow at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/diabetes">strong double-digit pace</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insulet</h3>
Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PODD#NASDAQ">PODD</a>), citing the company to benefit from accelerating the adoption of patch pump technology as it is the only participant in the category currently.
Goldman Sachs initiated Insulet on Thursday with a Buy rating and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PODD/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a price target of $380</a>. The analyst highlights the company&#8217;s pipeline, which can potentially strengthen its relative position. Sustained top-line growth should support outsized adjusted EBITDA results and yield meaningful upside over the next several years.
Analyst David Roman writes, &#8220;We expect Omnipod's superior form factor and relative differentiation as a result to be the key contributor to Insulet's share capture as the insulin pump market moves into its next leg of adoption. In our view, the company is best positioned for the opportunities ahead in insulin delivery growth.&#8221;

Company Plans US Launch</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dexcom</h3>
Goldman Sachs initiated DexCom Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NYSE">DXCM</a>) with a Buy rating and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DXCM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $104</a>, supported by a constructive view of the company&#8217;s technology and long-term opportunity set.
Roman adds the potential upside from consumer-related adoption and strong P&amp;L leverage, which should continue through the balance of 2025.
&#8220;Taking all patient cohorts into consideration, we expect Dexcom to remain ahead in the established Type 1 and Type 2 MDI segments. And in the higher growth T2 Basal and non-insulin populations, we expect Dexcom will take some patient share from Abbott over the intermediate term, off a much lower relative base&#8230;&#8221;
The CGM market is still mainly a two-player race between Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) and DexCom, Roman says.
However, the pump market is becoming more crowded, with more companies entering and customer needs changing. Hence, Goldman Sachs reiterated Abbott as a Buy and Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TNDM#NASDAQ">TNDM</a>) as Neutral.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beta Bionics</h3>
Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on newly listed Beta Bionics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBNX#NASDAQ">BBNX</a>). The diabetes management solutions provider closed its upsized IPO of 13.8 million at $17&nbsp;per share in January, raising approximately <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43415288/beta-bionics-announces-closing-of-234-6-million-initial-public-offering-and-full-exercise-of-under" rel="noreferrer noopener">$212.1 million in gross proceeds</a>.
The analyst initiated a Neutral rating and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BBNX/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $16</a>, noting the company's iLet technology is well-suited for a targeted segment of the Type 1 market.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>iLet is still in the early adoption phase, so its short-term growth is expected to be stronger than that of other diabetes-related companies and similar-sized medical technology firms.</li>
<li>Also, market estimates mostly reflect the growth potential over the next few years. The stock's valuation also seems to factor in this expected growth and the likelihood that the company will need to raise more money to reach break-even cash flow.</li>
</ul>
Price Action: PODD stock is up 0.14% at $324.31, BBNX stock is up 10% at $16.90, and DXCM stock is up 1% at $85.71 at the last check Friday.

<li>The&nbsp;Tendyne system replaces mitral valves that are not functioning properly due to a buildup of calcium in the base of the valves, known as severe mitral annular calcification (MAC)</li>
<li>Tendyne offers a new treatment option for patients who are not candidates for open-heart surgery or mitral repair</li>
<li>This approval expands Abbott's portfolio of minimally invasive structural heart therapies in the U.S.</li>
</ul>
ABBOTT PARK, Ill., May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the company's Tendyne&#x2122;&nbsp;transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) system to treat people with mitral valve disease. This life-changing therapy is available for patients&nbsp;whose mitral valves are not functioning properly due to severe mitral annular calcification (MAC), a buildup of calcium within the ring-like structure (known as an annulus) that supports the&nbsp;mitral valve.
The complex nature of mitral valve disease and patients' specific needs and health conditions can pose challenges for surgical correction. For patients with severe MAC who are at high risk for open-heart surgery and whose mitral valve cannot be successfully repaired with the Abbott MitraClip&#x2122; device, Tendyne offers an alternative minimally invasive way to replace the valve that's leaky (mitral regurgitation) or narrowed (stenosis).

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

In the current market session, Abbott Laboratories Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) share price is at $129.36, after a 0.40% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 1.77%, but in the past year, increased by 22.07%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>How Does Abbott Laboratories P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 59.36 in the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry, Abbott Laboratories Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 16.87. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745863234_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
