Our Take on Hims & Hers
Hims & Hers’ robust improvement in the top and bottom lines and strength in its Online revenue channel in second-quarter 2025 were promising. The increase in subscribers and monthly online revenue per average subscriber during the quarter was encouraging. The expansion of the operating margin during the quarter bodes well.
In July, HIMS closed its acquisition of ZAVA, expanding its presence in the U.K. and establishing a foundation in other strategic markets such as Germany, Ireland and France. Per management, the acquisition will likely accelerate the company’s ability to expand into markets beyond Europe. In 2026, Hims & Hers expects to enter Canada with an initial focus on a holistic weight loss program, timed to align with the anticipated first-ever availability of generic semaglutide globally. These raise our optimism about the stock.
However, Hims & Hers’ lower-than-expected results in the second quarter of 2025 and lower Wholesale revenues were disappointing. The gross margin contracted due to rising product costs, which do not bode well for the stock.
