Hims Took a Hit — But Not the One You Think
Regulatory changes delayed revenue, not demand. This may be the healthiest dip yet

Marketing ideas for marketers who hate boring
The best marketing ideas come from marketers who live it.
That’s what this newsletter delivers.
The Marketing Millennials is a look inside what’s working right now for other marketers. No theory. No fluff. Just real insights and ideas you can actually use—from marketers who’ve been there, done that, and are sharing the playbook.
Every newsletter is written by Daniel Murray, a marketer obsessed with what goes into great marketing. Expect fresh takes, hot topics, and the kind of stuff you’ll want to steal for your next campaign.
Because marketing shouldn’t feel like guesswork. And you shouldn’t have to dig for the good stuff.
Hims & Hers $HIMS ( ▼ 2.15% ) has spent the last year aggressively expanding — broadening its treatment offerings, entering the European market through ZAVA, and building a GLP-1 weight loss business that quickly became a major growth driver. But this quarter, the risks around that fast expansion cycle finally showed up in the numbers.
Revenue dipped to $545 million from $586 million last quarter. Average revenue per customer dropped to $74 from $84. Weight loss revenue slid $40 million quarter-over-quarter. And in response, the stock sold off 12%, now trading around $55.

But behind the selloff is a much more nuanced and increasingly attractive story. Because while revenue recognition took a hit this quarter, subscriber growth remains strong, regulatory headwinds are temporary, and management reaffirmed full-year guidance. For investors who’ve been waiting on the sidelines, this pullback may present a cleaner entry point ahead of a reacceleration in Q3 and Q4. Let’s take a deeper look.
