Read MoreHide Full Article

Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc.’s (TNDM - Free Report) flagship t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ automated insulin delivery (AID) technology is now certified for use with Eli Lilly and Company’s (LLY - Free Report) Lyumjev (insulin lispro-aabc injection) ultra-rapid acting insulin in the European Union (EU). The development follows a clinical study that reported high satisfaction and quality of life benefits by pairing Lyumjev with Control-IQ technology.

Ultra-rapid acting insulin is a popular choice for people living with diabetes because of its quick response time. By integrating Lyumjev with the t:slim X2 insulin pump, the company is providing more flexibility for its customers in these countries.

TNDM Stock Outlook Following the News

Since the news was released, TNDM shares edged up 0.4% to close at $44.63 on Friday. The San Diego, California-based diagnostics company is currently basking on the success of multiple product introductions, including the Tandem Mobi pump platform, new sensor integrations and the launch of additional stores outside the United States. Given the significant underpenetration in the global diabetes market, the company is furthering its strategy to bring the benefits of its technology to more individuals worldwide. Plans to introduce several innovations internationally such as t:slim X2 with Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor and the Mobi platform are underway. Consequently, we anticipate the market sentiment toward the TNDM stock to remain positive surrounding this development.

Tandem Diabetes currently has a market capitalization of $2.92 billion. In the past 30 days, the company’s loss per share has narrowed by 0.6% to $1.76 for 2024 and by 2.5% to $ 1.18 for 2025. Additionally, it delivered nearly 13% earnings beat in the last reported quarter.  

More on TNDM’s Latest Integrated Offering

Lyumjev was authorized for general use in insulin pumps in the EU in 2020, but pump manufacturers are required to perform extensive testing to verify compatibility with individual insulin pumps and AID systems. Tandem and Lilly collaborated to support the clinical trial showing the benefits of using Lyumjev with Control-IQ technology. The companies continue to work to secure Lyumjev compatibility for the t:slim X2 pump in other regions and to secure Lyumjev compatibility for the Tandem Mobi pump.

Industry Prospects Favoring TNDM Stock

Per a Research report, the global insulin delivery devices market was valued at $16.43 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 7.9% by 2027.

Furthermore, the industry is witnessing a shift toward wearable devices, such as insulin pumps and insulin patch pumps, which offer continuous insulin infusion conveniently and discreetly.

TNDM’s Noteworthy Developments
