Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information for Common Stock

DexCom’s common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “DXCM.” The following table sets forth the high and low intraday per share sales prices reported on Nasdaq for DexCom’s common stock for the periods indicated.

Stockholders

We had approximately 30 stockholders of record as of February 19, 2019. The number of beneficial owners of our common stock at that date was substantially greater than the number of record holders because a large portion of our common stock is held of record through brokerage firms in “street name.”

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities which have not been previously disclosed in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q or a current report on Form 8-K during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

In November 2018 we repurchased 0.8 million shares of our common stock for $100.0 million, or an average per share price of $123.99. None of these shares were repurchased as part of a publicly announced share repurchase plan.
