The Core Question

HIMS faces 5 concurrent legal proceedings targeting 25-70% of revenue, a DOJ criminal referral, and a 70%+ stock decline. The ensemble assigns coin-flip odds (52%) that Q4 weight loss revenue falls below $175M — meaning the GLP-1 revenue trajectory is genuinely uncertain, not clearly in free fall.

Ensemble Forecast

Key Market
Q4 Weight Loss Revenue <$175M
Probability
52%
Model Agreement
0.92
Strong consensus on ambiguity

Our nine-model ensemble assigns 52% probability that Q4 weight loss specialty revenue falls below $175M — effectively a coin flip. GLP-1 revenue already declined from ~$230M (Q1) to ~$190M (Q2 2025) after the FDA shortage declaration, and the Feb 5-7 oral semaglutide launch-suspension demonstrated real-time regulatory control. See all seven active markets on the HIMS forecasting page.

Earnings Scorecard — February 24

Weight Loss Specialty Revenue
Bull: >$200MBear: <$175M
The central revenue durability question. Declined $230M→$190M through Q1-Q2. Below $175M confirms accelerating decline; above $200M would suggest resilience the regulatory assault has not broken.
Total Subscriber Growth YoY
Bull: >20%Bear: <15%
Decelerated from 38%→31%→20% across Q1-Q3. Ensemble assigns 65% probability below 15%. Below that threshold suggests brand damage is spilling beyond GLP-1 into the core business.
Legal & Regulatory Commentary
Bull: Settlement signalsBear: New proceedings
Management's first detailed response to Feb 2026 events (DOJ referral, FDA “decisive steps,” Novo patent suit). Any signal of settlement or consent decree would de-escalate; new proceedings would widen the already-existential risk surface.
$6.5B 2030 Revenue Target
Bull: WalkbackBear: Maintained
Set during 111% YoY growth. Ensemble assigns only 28% probability of a walkback. Paradoxically, withdrawing the target would improve management credibility; maintaining it while facing 5 concurrent proceedings would widen the narrative-action gap.
Non-GLP-1 Revenue Growth
Bull: >30% YoYBear: <20% YoY
The core telehealth platform (~$1.4-1.6B floor) is the survival anchor. Core grew ~30% YoY in Q1 but was flat-to-down sequentially in Q2. Below 20% would erode the “durable floor” thesis that 3 lenses rely on.
Current Assessment
HIMS is classified as “Price Above Value” at medium confidence. The stock trades at ~$17 after a 70%+ decline from highs, embedding substantial impairment. However, the ensemble finds the most probable path — FDA restriction (65%), subscriber deceleration (65%), and ambiguous GLP-1 trajectory (52%) — suggests the current price may not fully reflect the compounding effect of simultaneous headwinds. Read the full thesis assessment. We will update within 24 hours of the February 24 earnings release.
