Hims reports Q4 earnings beat, revenue miss

The report comes as the company has faced mounting legal troubles related to its short-lived Wegovy pill copy.

Hims & Hers reported mixed financial results and gave lukewarm full-year guidance, moves that come after a tumultuous stretch for the telehealth company. 

For the last three months of 2025, Hims & Hers reported:

  • Earnings per share of $0.08, compared to the $0.04 analysts polled by FactSet were expecting.

  • Revenue of $617.8 million, compared to the $619 million analysts were penciling in.

For the full year in 2026, the company expects:

  • Revenue to hit between $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion, compared to the $2.74 billion analysts are currently expecting.

  • Adjusted EBITDA between $300 million and $375 million, compared to the $369 million Wall Street is expecting. The company said it intends to accept smaller margins in its international business in the short term as it gains market share.

The earnings report comes as the company has faced massive blowback from regulators after it rolled out a copy of Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill early this month. Hims is now facing a patent infringement lawsuit from Novo as well as potential charges by the Department of Justice. 

CEO Andrew Dudum declined to comment on ongoing talks with the Food and Drug Administration and the DOJ.

We pulled back to prioritize, honestly, just the engagement and the relationships with the ecosystem of stakeholders, Dudum said. We talked to quite a few of them on launch and understood their dynamics and chose to prioritize them in those conversations, so we decided to pull it.

The stock has also taken a hit: it is down more than 50% since the start of the year, with more than 30% of that drawdown coming after Hims announced the Wegovy pill copies. The stock fell about 4% in after-hours trading following the report.

The company said its outlook assumes that it will continue to be able to sell copycat versions of Novo’s drugs. Throughout the report and call, company executives played down the impact of GLP-1s for its growth prospects.

Today, some may think of us as a GLP-1 company, Dudum said in an X post. The reality is that only a small minority of our subscribers are using a compounded GLP-1 treatment.

As its weight-loss segment sits in a precarious place, the company has focused on expanding into new treatments and geographies.

While Hims does not break out revenue by treatment segment, it did say that more than half of its revenue in 2025 came from “non-GLP-1 offerings” and described compounded GLP-1s as an “incremental growth vector.” Dudum told analysts he expects to add performance, recovery, and sleep in the future. He also said the company is looking into peptide therapies right now.

In the final quarter of 2025, Hims added hormone treatments and labs, including a cancer detection test from Grail. Hims announced last week that it would acquire Eucalyptus, an Australian digital health company, in a deal valued up to $1.15 billion.

Last year, Hims bought Zava, a UK-based peer with a presence in France, Ireland, and Germany, for $265.7 million. It also announced that it would launch in Canada this year offering generic Wegovy. The Eucalyptus acquisition puts Hims in new markets — like Australia and Japan — and gives it a wider presence in other international markets like the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia. 

The company also broke out its international revenue for the first time: in 2025 if it brought in $133.9 million from outside the US, compared to $26.8 million in 2024.

Intel shares are officially a thing

April most definitely has not been the cruelest month for US chip giant Intel or its shareholders.

The stock is on a remarkable run that’s made it the best performer in the S&P 500 for the month, posting a gain of nearly 43% shortly after 11 a.m. ET Friday. That’s outdone AI darlings like Sandisk, Lumentum, Ciena Corp., Coherent, and Seagate Technology Holdings.

In fact, the monthly view actually underplays the extent of the stock’s performance. Over the eight sessions that ended yesterday — which includes March 31 — the stock was up just shy of 50%. That’s by far its best eight-day streak over the last 30 years.

Investors have eaten up Intel’s announcements this week of partnerships, first with Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s Terafab project, and separately, with Alphabet on developing custom chips for Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure needs.

More broadly, the seemingly relentless demand for computing capacity and chips related to AI seems to present, at least, the prospect of Intel actually solving the long-standing problems at its contract chipmaking business — known as a foundry — that have weighed on the business for years.

Oh, being partially nationalized by the US government amid an increasing global focus on ensuring secure supply chains for crucial technologies like semiconductors probably doesn’t hurt either.

(In case you're keeping track, the US bought a nearly 10% stake in Intel for about $8.9 billion in late August of last year. Today, that stake is worth about $27 billion.)

Palantir’s slide continues, but President Trump tries to help

Investors were selling Palantir shares again on Friday, with the stock falling as much as 6% before stabilizing, thanks to an assist from the White House.

At its worst moments, the sell-off put the retail favorite on track for its worst weekly loss (more than 16%) since February 2021.

But Palantir has powerful friends: President Trump posted on Truth Social celebrating the company’s “great war fighting capabilities,” sending the stock higher, though it remained in the red.

The overall negative sentiment seems to stem from Anthropic’s powerful new AI models, at least judging from the latest epistle from Palantir bull Dan Ives at Wedbush Securities:

“Anthropic released a new product around multi-agent orchestration, which continues to add more headwinds to the software sector. While Anthropic is hitting a new scale with the company now at $30 billion [annual run rate], up from $9 billion at the start of the year, we believe this is not at the expense of PLTR’s business as the company continues to accelerate both its US commercial and government businesses.”

Of course, the specter of AI undermining of other software companies has been a well-established theme for months. And it’s clearly at play in the market on Friday, with Palo Alto Networks, ServiceNow, CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Figma, and Atlassian continuing to get clocked on negative AI implications.

But the recent inclusion of Palantir among the pack of potentially replaceable software providers is newer, with the view popularized by well-followed market commentator Michael Burry’s pronouncement — since deleted — that Anthropic is “eating Palantir’s lunch,” which seemed to contribute to the downdraft for Palantir today.

The stock dove through its 50-day moving average in recent days, underscoring the sputtering momentum for what has been one of the market’s biggest winners over the last couple years. Long-term holders are still up massively, with the stock up about 1,400% over the last three years.

124% 🚗

China exported more than twice as many electric vehicles (and plug-in hybrids) in the first quarter of 2026 as it did in the same period last year, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

New energy vehicle exports surged 124% year over year, as major players like BYD and Chery ramped up overseas efforts to combat lower domestic sales. Tesla’s China business also boosted exports, shipping 164% more EVs than the same period the year before.

Nio is ramping up export efforts as well, with a goal to deliver “several thousand” EVs overseas this year and have a presence in 40 countries. Still, the automaker exported 271 vehicles in Q1 — less than half of a percent of the company’s total deliveries.

According to the CPCA, April will see the country’s automotive industry continue its “slow recovery.”
