Hims & Hers stock slides 5% after second quarter revenue misses forecasts

Hims & Hers Health (HIMS) stock fell as much as 5% early Tuesday after the company reported revenue late Monday that fell shy of Wall Street forecasts while maintaining its full-year forecast.

The telehealth company posted revenue of $544.8 million in the second quarter, marking a 73% increase year over year but missing analyst estimates for $552 million, according to Bloomberg data. Hims & Hers maintained its full-year revenue guidance of $2.3 billion to $2.4 billion.

Earnings per share topped forecasts, coming in at $0.17 against expectations for $0.15.

The stock had dropped as much as 11% in premarket trade.

The company's slide comes after drugmaker Novo Nordisk (NVO) ended a short-lived partnership between the two companies in June that saw Novo Nordisk allow Hims & Hers access to its viral weight-loss drug Wegovy.

Novo Nordisk alleged in the announcement that Hims & Hers "has failed to adhere to the law which prohibits mass sales of compounded drugs under the false guise of 'personalization' and are disseminating deceptive marketing that put patient safety at risk."

Novo Nordisk stock fell more than 21% last month after the drugmaker announced it was slashing profit forecasts for Wegovy and its diabetes treatment Ozempic.

In August 2022, the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) allowed compounding pharmacies, including those working with telehealth providers like Hims & Hers, to copy and distribute semaglutide weight-loss and weight-management drugs due to shortages in brand-name products like Wegovy and Eli Lilly's (LLY) Zepbound after massive consumer demand.

The move allowed Hims & Hers to market a GLP-1 weight-loss drug itself while the shortage was in place, which it began doing in May 2024, according to the Financial Times. But the FDA ended that order in February, citing that the shortage of brand-name GLP-1s had ended and ordering compounding pharmacies to stop production by April.

Coming off the FDA ruling, Hims & Hers is trying to diversify its product offerings. Management announced in May in a Q1 shareholder letter that its "vision involves expanding from hundreds of personalized treatments today to potentially thousands."

Still, the company's stock has been a big winner this year relative to GLP-1 leaders like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, rising more than 150% year to date against a more than 40% slide for Novo Nordisk shares. Eli Lilly stock is roughly flat this year.

"The momentum we saw through the first half of 2025 is proof that our platform is delivering exactly what millions of people have been waiting for, access to personalized, high-quality care that meets people where they are," CEO Andrew Dudum said during the Hims & Hers Q2 earnings call.
