Insulet Corporation’s NASDAQ: PODD recent outperformance has caught investors' attention and has earned it a designation as a top performer on the S&P 500.

The medical device company, known for its innovative tubeless insulin pump system, saw its stock price climb by over 24% in the past five days. This jump in Insulet’s stock price has been driven by multiple catalyst’s including a recent earnings report that exceeded analyst predictions.

Following this outperformance, the company's upgraded full-year financial outlook further boosted investor confidence.

So now the question for Insulet becomes whether or not the company can sustain this momentum and continue to deliver the strategic results that it will take to meet its newly upgraded guidance. 

Insulet's Q1 Earnings Triumph and Guidance Uplift

The company’s stock price rally was a direct response to Insulet’s first quarter 2025 earnings report. The company reported total revenue of $569 million, marking a substantial 28.8% increase year-over-year and a 29.8% rise in constant currency, comfortably exceeding analyst consensus estimates of $543.20 million. This top-line strength translated directly to the bottom line, with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) coming in at $1.02, significantly outperforming Insulet’s analyst community’s consensus of $0.81.  

Total Omnipod revenue reached $554.1 million, up 28.0% year-over-year (29.0% in constant currency). Gross margin expanded by 240 basis points to 71.9%, and operating income rose to $88.8 million, or 15.6% of revenue.

Full-year 2025 guidance was raised:

• Total revenue growth now expected at 19%-22% in constant currency
• Omnipod revenue growth guidance raised to 20%-23%
• Gross margin guidance improved to 71%
