Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. TNDM recently commercially launched Control-IQ+ technology - the latest generation of its advanced hybrid closed-loop algorithm in the United States. Control-IQ+ is compatible with both the t:slim X2 insulin pump and Tandem Mobi System. It is available for people with type 1 diabetes (ages 2 years and older) and adults with type 2 diabetes.

TNDM Stock’s Likely Trend Following the News

Since the announcement, TNDM’s shares edged up 1.1% at the after-market trading yesterday.

Tandem Diabetes continues to strategically expand the adoption of its insulin pumps by type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients across all markets. The company is actively working with its product launch and commercial strategy to progress in the type 2 diabetes space. Accordingly, we expect the latest launch of Control-IQ+ technology to motivate market sentiment toward the TNDM stock to remain positive in the upcoming days.

Tandem Diabetes currently has a market capitalization of $1.33 billion. It has estimated earnings per share (EPS) growth rate of 38.7% in 2025 compared with the industry’s 15.6% growth. In the past 30 days, the company’s loss per share has decreased from $2.55 to $1.17 for 2025. 

About TNDM’s Control-IQ+

Control-IQ+ is built on the existing features of Tandem Diabetes’ industry-leading Control-IQ algorithm. This is also the only AID algorithm that allows users to program extended boluses of up to 8 hours, to better manage delayed glucose rises or prolonged eating.

New features of the Control-IQ+ algorithm include expanded weight (20-440 lbs.) and total daily insulin (5-200 units) parameters to accommodate a wider range of insulin requirements. To address short-term glucose needs, such as exercise, stress, or illness, it comes with New Temp Basal Rate adjustments when Control-IQ+ is active. These new features allow greater levels of personalization and flexibility within the company’s algorithm, while still being easy to use for a diverse population of users. 

In February, the technology achieved FDA approval for use by people with type 2 diabetes ages 18 and older.

The surge in market growth is primarily driven by the rising global prevalence of diabetes, which has created a greater need for advanced and user-friendly solutions for diabetes management. Technological advancements play a crucial role in the market growth, with devices becoming more effective, less invasive and personalized to meet patients' individual needs.
