HIMS’ Key Updates In June

On Friday, HIMS’ CEO Andrew Dudum announced on X that its recently acquired Juniper platform was opening pre-orders for Novo Nordisk’s blockbuster Wegovy pill in the United Kingdom, a day after the oral version of the GLP-1 drug was approved in the country.

Earlier this month, Hims & Hers appointed Anant Vinjamoori as Chief Medical Officer to help guide the company’s healthcare offerings across areas including weight loss, mental health, sexual health, dermatology, and hormone care.

Prior to the appointment, the telehealth firm completed its buyout of digital health platform Eucalyptus a month ahead of schedule. The acquisition expanded its presence across the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada, alongside growing operations in France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, and Japan. 

Hims added that the acquisition reinforces confidence in its long-term targets of $6.5 billion in revenue and $1.3 billion in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) by 2030. 

HIMS shares are down 13.5% so far this year.
