What Is Hims & Hers Health?

Hims & Hers Health is an American telehealth and consumer wellness company that connects customers to licensed healthcare providers online and then ships prescription and over the counter treatments directly to their homes. The platform was built around removing the friction and stigma often associated with sensitive health conditions, allowing customers to complete an online consultation, receive a prescription if appropriate, and have medication delivered discreetly, all without an in person doctor visit for many conditions.

Originally focused narrowly on men’s health issues such as hair loss and erectile dysfunction under the Hims brand, and women’s health and skincare under the Hers brand, the company has since expanded into a much broader wellness platform covering dermatology, mental health, primary care, and, most significantly in recent years, medical weight loss built around GLP-1 medications. Hims & Hers operates primarily on a subscription model, with recurring revenue from millions of active subscribers making up the large majority of total sales.

In 2026, the company has been navigating a major strategic transition, shifting away from lower cost compounded versions of GLP-1 weight loss drugs toward branded medications distributed through a new partnership with pharmaceutical maker Novo Nordisk, following regulatory scrutiny of the compounding industry.

Company History

Hims & Hers Health was founded in November 2017 in San Francisco by Andrew Dudum, Jack Abraham, Joe Spector, and Hilary Coles, building on infrastructure and early funding from Atomic, a venture studio co-founded by Dudum. The company launched first as Hims, targeting men’s health concerns like hair loss and erectile dysfunction with a direct to consumer telehealth model, before launching Hers in 2018 to serve women’s wellness needs including birth control access, hair regrowth treatment, and skincare.

The company grew quickly in its early years, raising a $7 million Series A round led by Forerunner Ventures and Thrive Capital, followed by a $100 million Series C round in January 2019 that valued the business at approximately $1 billion. Hims & Hers went public in January 2021 through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, Oaktree Acquisition Corp, led by prominent investor Howard Marks, in a deal valuing the combined company at approximately $1.6 billion.

Founders

Hims & Hers Health was founded by a team of four co-founders with backgrounds in venture building and startup creation.

Andrew Dudum

Co-founder, Chief Executive Officer, and board member. Dudum previously co-founded Atomic, a startup studio and venture fund that helped launch companies including Bungalow and Homebound, and has served as Hims & Hers’ Chief Executive Officer since the company’s founding in 2017.

Jack Abraham

Co-founder, who also founded and leads Atomic, the venture studio that provided early infrastructure and capital to help launch Hims & Hers alongside several other companies.

Joe Spector and Hilary Coles

Co-founders who contributed to the company’s early product, brand, and operational build out, helping shape the consumer facing identity that distinguished Hims & Hers from traditional healthcare providers from the outset.

The company’s founding team built Hims & Hers within Atomic’s venture studio model, which provided shared operational resources and capital in its earliest stages, a structure that allowed the company to scale its direct to consumer telehealth platform quickly across all 50 states in its first several years.

CEO

Andrew Dudum has served as Chief Executive Officer of Hims & Hers Health since co-founding the company in 2017. Before Hims & Hers, Dudum co-founded Atomic, a startup studio and investment fund where he played a role in developing multiple companies as a general partner. Under Dudum’s leadership, Hims & Hers has expanded from a narrowly focused men’s health brand into a broad, multi category wellness platform, guided the company through its 2021 public listing, and led its recent strategic pivot into branded GLP-1 weight loss medications through the company’s 2026 partnership with Novo Nordisk. Dudum has also been a vocal public figure on issues facing the telehealth and digital health industry, including regulatory scrutiny of compounded medications.

Headquarters

Hims & Hers Health is headquartered in San Francisco, California, reflecting its origins within the city’s startup and venture capital ecosystem. The company operates as a direct to consumer digital platform rather than a network of physical clinics, relying on a nationwide network of licensed medical providers, pharmacy partners, and fulfillment centers to deliver care and products across all 50 states. Following its 2026 acquisition of digital health company Eucalyptus, Hims & Hers has also expanded its operational footprint internationally, supporting customers in the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Ireland, France, Spain, Australia, and Japan.

Business Segments

Hims & Hers Health operates as a single consumer health and wellness platform, with revenue generated across several major treatment categories.

Weight loss

The company’s fastest growing and most closely watched category in recent years, built around GLP-1 medications, now transitioning from compounded formulations toward branded products distributed through its Novo Nordisk partnership.

Sexual health and hair care

The original core of the Hims brand, covering treatments for erectile dysfunction and hair loss, which remain a meaningful and stable part of the subscriber base.

Dermatology and skincare

Personalized skincare and dermatology treatments offered under both the Hims and Hers brands, covering conditions such as acne and anti aging skincare.

Mental health and primary care

Newer categories offering mental health treatment and general primary care services, extending the platform beyond its original focus on sensitive, stigmatized conditions.

Products and Services

Hims & Hers delivers its treatments through a subscription based telehealth platform combining online consultations, digital prescriptions, and direct to consumer fulfillment.

  • Online medical consultations: Access to licensed healthcare providers through the Hims & Hers website and mobile app, enabling diagnosis and prescription for a range of conditions without an in person visit.
  • Weight Loss Membership: A subscription program, starting at $39 for the first month, that provides access to GLP-1 medications, including branded Wegovy and Ozempic through the Novo Nordisk partnership, alongside ongoing virtual care.
  • Hair and skin treatments: Prescription and over the counter treatments for hair loss and skincare conditions, sold under both the Hims and Hers brand names.
  • Sexual health treatments: Prescription medications for erectile dysfunction and other sexual health conditions, part of the original Hims product lineup.
  • Laboratory testing services: At home laboratory testing to measure a range of biomarkers, supporting more personalized treatment recommendations across the platform.
  • Hims & Hers Benefits: An expanding partner network offering additional wellness related discounts and services to subscribers, part of the company’s push to deepen member engagement beyond core medical treatments.

Revenue Breakdown

Hims & Hers generates the substantial majority of its revenue from recurring online subscriptions, with weight loss treatments increasingly central to the company’s overall growth trajectory even as the business model within that category has shifted.

Q1 2026 revenue by geography

$529.9M United States $78.2M Rest of world

United States revenue declined 8 percent year over year to $529.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 amid the GLP-1 transition, while international revenue surged nearly tenfold to $78.2 million, reflecting rapid overseas expansion.

Within its subscriber base of nearly 2.6 million, monthly online revenue per average subscriber fell to $80 in the first quarter of 2026, down from $85 a year earlier, reflecting both the shift away from higher priced compounded GLP-1 offerings and a broader mix shift across treatment categories. Management has said that roughly 90 percent of recurring revenue comes from its existing subscriber base, underscoring the importance of retention, with about 82 percent of subscribers remaining active beyond the three month mark. Following the March 2026 introduction of branded Wegovy on the platform, the company fulfilled more than 125,000 Wegovy shipments within the first six weeks and said it was on track to add more than 100,000 new weight loss subscribers per month.

Financial Performance

Hims & Hers’ financial results in early 2026 reflect a deliberate, near term disruptive transition away from compounded GLP-1 medications toward a branded, partnership based weight loss model.

Quarterly revenue growth deceleration

+111% YoY Q1 2025 growth +4% YoY Q1 2026 growth

Revenue growth decelerated sharply from 111 percent year over year in the first quarter of 2025 to just 4 percent in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting the disruptive impact of ceasing compounded GLP-1 marketing partway through the transition to branded products.

Selected first quarter 2026 financial results
MetricQ1 2026Year over year change
RevenueApproximately $608 millionUp 4 percent
Net lossApproximately $92 millionCompared to net income in the prior year period
Gross margin65 percentDown from 73 percent
Adjusted EBITDA$44.3 millionDown from $91.1 million
SubscribersNearly 2.6 millionUp 9 percent
Monthly revenue per average subscriber$80Down from $85

For the second quarter of 2026, Hims & Hers guided for revenue of $680 million to $700 million and adjusted EBITDA of $35 million to $55 million. For the full year, management raised revenue guidance to a range of $2.8 billion to $3.0 billion, representing growth of 19 percent to 28 percent from 2025 levels, and set updated adjusted EBITDA guidance of $275 million to $350 million. The company has also reiterated longer term 2030 targets of $6.5 billion in revenue and $1.3 billion in adjusted EBITDA, reflecting continued confidence in its multi year growth trajectory despite the near term disruption from its GLP-1 transition.

Why the transition matters: Hims & Hers’ shift from compounded to branded GLP-1 medications followed warning letters from federal regulators and legal action from Novo Nordisk over the company’s marketing of lower cost compounded alternatives. While the transition weighed heavily on near term revenue growth and margins, the resulting distribution partnership with Novo Nordisk gave Hims & Hers a more durable, legally secure position in the fast growing weight loss market and resolved a significant legal overhang on the stock.

Stock Information

Hims & Hers Health went public in January 2021 through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, Oaktree Acquisition Corp, led by investor Howard Marks, valuing the combined company at approximately $1.6 billion. The stock has since been one of the more volatile names in the digital health sector, driven by rapid swings in sentiment around its weight loss business and related regulatory developments.

Key stock price levels over the past year

HIMS shares have traded across a very wide 52 week range, from a low near $13.74 to a high above $70, reflecting extreme sensitivity to regulatory news, earnings results, and shifting sentiment around the company’s GLP-1 strategy.

Next earnings dateExpected August 10, 2026

HIMS shares have moved sharply on individual news events throughout 2026, including a more than 40 percent single day surge following the announcement of the Novo Nordisk partnership in March, a roughly 13 percent decline following its first quarter earnings report in May, and a steady climb through June and early July as analysts including BofA and Canaccord raised price targets on improving sales trends and reduced legal and regulatory risk. Several banks have issued Street high price targets around $40, while others maintain more cautious Hold ratings tied to execution risk and valuation concerns.

Dividends

Hims & Hers Health does not pay a dividend. As a growth focused consumer health company still investing heavily in subscriber acquisition, international expansion, and its transitioning weight loss business, the company is directing its cash flow toward growth initiatives rather than shareholder distributions. This is standard for a company at Hims & Hers’ stage of growth, and investors in HIMS are generally positioned for capital appreciation tied to subscriber growth and margin improvement rather than income.

Competitors

Hims & Hers competes in the fast growing direct to consumer telehealth and digital health market, facing competition from both dedicated telehealth platforms and traditional healthcare and pharmaceutical companies entering the space.

Selected Hims & Hers Health competitors
CompetitorPositioning
Ro (Roman and Rory)A privately held direct to consumer telehealth company competing directly across men’s health, women’s health, and weight loss categories with a similar subscription model.
LifeMDA publicly traded telehealth company offering weight loss, primary care, and other subscription based virtual care services to a similar consumer base.
Teladoc HealthA larger, more established telehealth provider with a broader focus on employer and health system partnerships rather than Hims & Hers’ direct to consumer brand approach.
NoomA weight management and behavior change platform that has expanded into GLP-1 adjacent coaching and telehealth services, competing for weight loss focused subscribers.
Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly direct channelsThe pharmaceutical manufacturers behind branded GLP-1 drugs Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound have increasingly launched their own direct to consumer sales channels, creating both a partnership opportunity and a potential long term competitive threat to telehealth intermediaries like Hims & Hers.

Hims & Hers’ relationship with Novo Nordisk illustrates the complex, dual natured competitive dynamic in this market: pharmaceutical manufacturers are simultaneously essential supply partners for branded medications and potential long term competitors as they build out their own direct to consumer distribution capabilities. Hims & Hers has positioned its broad multi category platform, large existing subscriber base, and consumer facing brand identity as key differentiators against both dedicated telehealth rivals and pharmaceutical manufacturers’ direct channels.
