U.S. Omnipod revenue growth was driven by strong commercial execution with growing demand for Omnipod 5. Furthermore, expansion of both margins is highly promising. The upbeat revenue guidance for 2025 also bodes well for the stock.In the United States, Insulet witnessed robust adoption of Omnipod 5 with Dexcom's G7 and early traction with Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensors.
