The Hims & Hers Health Analyst: Analyst Allen Lutz maintained a Neutral rating, while cutting the price target from $23 to $21.
The Hims & Hers Health Thesis: The shift to branded GLP-1s and rising international revenue in the mix are likely to weigh on the company's margins, Lutz said in the note.

While the higher price for branded would boost EBITDA dollars over time, conversion rates and uptake may be impacted as Hims & Hers Health "shifts away from a low-cost provider model," he explained.
The analyst estimates that the company would be able to convert 40%-50% of existing subscribers to branded. He lowered the 2026 GLP-1 revenue estimate from $577 million to $516 million.
Hims & Hers Health aims at its international business surpassing $1 billion over the next three years, with the biggest contributor being Eucalyptus, Lutz said. "Our checks on Eucalyptus suggest ~90% of revenue is from branded GLP-1 distribution" and half a year of Eucalyptus contributions could spell an EBITDA margin headwind of 1-2 percentage points for Hims & Hers Health, he further wrote.
HIMS Price Action: Shares of Hims & Hers Health had risen by 1.23% to $19.76 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
