Winston Score History

The full picture

Insulet Corporation makes a wearable insulin delivery device called the Omnipod, which helps people with diabetes manage their blood sugar without traditional insulin pumps or multiple daily injections. The Omnipod is a small, tubeless patch that sticks directly to the skin and delivers insulin automatically. Insulet sells primarily to people with Type 1 diabetes, though it is expanding into Type 2, and works through pharmacies, distributors, and healthcare providers.

Insulet earns money by selling the Omnipod hardware pods, which are disposable and replaced every three days, creating a steady stream of recurring revenue. The company operates in the United States and internationally, with Europe being a significant market, and generates roughly $2 billion in annual revenue. Its main competitive advantage is the tubeless, patch-based design, which many users prefer over traditional tethered pumps. The key growth driver is expanding adoption among Type 2 diabetes patients, a much larger population, though competition from other automated insulin delivery systems remains a real risk.

Growth + cash flow

Insulet is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 24%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
