Kuckelman.The company also announced a share repurchase program on Monday of up to DKK 15 billion ($2.4 billion to be executed during a 12-month period beginning Feb. 4, 2026.<h2 class="st-heading-2">FDA Warns Of Crackdown On Compounded GLP-1 Drugs&nbsp;</h2>Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned of a crackdown last week on GLP-1 active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) intended for use in non-FDA-approved compounded drugs.“These actions are aimed to safeguard consumers from drugs for which the FDA cannot verify quality, safety, or efficacy.&nbsp; We take seriously any potential violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act,” the agency said.Subsequently, Hims &amp; Hers announced that it would stop offering the $49 compounded version of Novo’s Wegovy.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts Warn Of Sales Hit</h2>The FDA crackdown has resulted in sharp price target cuts from analysts, according to TheFly.Analysts at Citi warned that Hims &amp; Hers’ launch of the compounded pill version of Wegovy is “risky and aggressive,” and that it brings more legal risk to the company.The firm trimmed its price target for Hims &amp; Hers to $16.5 from $30, while maintaining a ‘Sell’ rating. Citi analysts stated that the new price target factors in a 25% bear case probability of Hims &amp; Hers losing all weight loss drug sales, a 60% base case probability of the company losing half of the sales, and a 15% bull case probability of limited GLP-1 downside from the legal challenges.Analysts at BofA also lowered their price target for the HIMS stock to $21 from $26, while keeping an ‘Underperform’ rating. The firm noted that the FDA did not make a distinction between oral and injectable products in its crackdown warning.This leads BofA analysts to believe that the FDA’s crackdown could extend beyond APIs for oral GLP-1 treatment and include APIs for injectable semaglutide as well. The firm believes this adds a new risk to Hims' injectable GLP-1 franchise.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Stocktwits Users Reacted</h2>Retail sentiment around&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/HIMS">Hims &amp; Hers</a> trended in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory at the time of writing.One user pointed out that the company’s legal battle with Novo hasn’t even started yet.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/weqwewqeq1111/message/644437840</stembedurl><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NVO">NVO stock</a> is down 7% year-to-date, while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/HIMS">HIMS stock</a> is down 29%.$1 = DKK 6.30Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/pgy-stock-rising-today-ahead-of-ai-lenders-q4-earnings/cZbHxXpR48v">PGY Stock Pops Pre-Earnings: Wall Street Bets On Pagaya’s AI-Powered Lending Model</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
