In short

Thesis
A cut to US Omnipod growth, two Pod corrections and new patch pump rivals hurt trust in Insulet, so growth within the new guidance through early 2027 can close the gap.
Gap
Can close. The Q4 2026 report and the 2027 outlook in February 2027 show whether US Omnipod growth holds against new patch pumps and after the Pod corrections.

Company guidance: Total revenue growth of 21% to 22% in constant currency and adjusted EPS growth of more than 30% for 2026 (, Q3 2026 earnings release (8-K))

Price history

About

Insulet makes the Omnipod, a small tubeless insulin pump that the user wears on the body for up to three days. Its main product is Omnipod 5, an automated insulin delivery system that works with continuous glucose monitors from Dexcom and Abbott to adjust insulin by itself. Insulet earns most of its money from the sale of disposable Pods, which users replace every few days, so most revenue repeats. Insulet sells mainly through the pharmacy channel, so users do not need a large payment at the start.

Insulet sells Omnipod in 26 countries, and international revenue grew faster than US revenue in 2026. It now also sells Omnipod 5 to people with type 2 diabetes. Revenue was $842.0 million in Q3 2026.

Thesis

The market fears that Omnipod growth will slow and that its lead in tubeless pumps is less safe than it was. In August 2026, Insulet cut its 2026 US Omnipod growth outlook to 17% to 19% from 20% to 22%, because type 2 diabetes users adopt the product more slowly than planned. Insulet also issued two Pod corrections in 2026. The May correction covered about 7 million Pods, and shareholders then filed a securities class action.

At the same time, competitors bring new patch pumps to market. Beta Bionics received FDA clearance for its patch pump, and MiniMed submitted one for clearance. In Q3 2026, US Omnipod revenue grew 14.7%, within the guidance of 14% to 16%, and Insulet narrowed its 2026 US Omnipod outlook to 17.5% to 18.5% (November 4, 2026). For the gap to close, three things must be true.

US Omnipod growth must stay in the mid-teens or higher into 2027 as type 2 adoption improves. No new Pod quality problem may appear, and warranty costs must stay low. Adjusted EPS must grow more than 30% in 2026, as guided, while new rivals take little share; it grew 47.5% in the first nine months of 2026. The Q4 report and the 2027 outlook in February 2027 are the next test.

If growth holds, the gap can close over the next three to five quarters.

Risks

  • New tubeless patch pumps from Beta Bionics and MiniMed can compete with Omnipod. If they win new users or pharmacy coverage, Omnipod growth can slow further.
  • Insulet issued two Pod corrections in 2026, and they added $32.2 million of net warranty and related costs in the first nine months of 2026. Another quality problem can hurt trust with users and doctors and bring more regulatory action.
  • Growth in the United States depends more and more on people with type 2 diabetes, who adopted Omnipod more slowly than planned in 2026. Weight-loss and diabetes drugs can also reduce the need for insulin in some patients.
  • A securities class action filed in July 2026 claims false statements about Pod quality. Insulet does not expect a probable loss, but the case can bring costs.
