Hims & Hers stock has seen significant volatility, with a 351% rise over three years but a 38% drop in the last six months. The presenter emphasizes an 'asymmetric investing' approach, acknowledging high risks but aiming for potentially unlimited upside (10x-100x returns) over 10-20 years by investing in disruptive companies.
Hims & Hers is presented as a disruptive force in healthcare, offering digital solutions without traditional insurance. Starting with ED and hair regrowth, they've expanded to weight loss, testosterone therapy, and lab services. The company's vision extends beyond medication to being a central healthcare platform, integrating data from wearables and providing nutrition, workout, and sleep suggestions, akin to a 'Netflix of healthcare' that aggregates demand and attracts supply.
Hims & Hers has shown incredible revenue growth, with a 72.7% compound annual growth rate over the past three years. Operating margins have shifted from negative to positive. While still growing, quarterly revenue growth and subscriber growth rates have tapered, leading to investor questions. The price-to-sales multiple is currently 3.4, which is low for a high-growth company.
The recent slowdown in revenue and margin growth is largely attributed to changes in GLP1 (weight loss drug) compounding regulations. This caused an exaggerated growth spike that wasn't sustainable. Investors are also concerned about increased competition, such as Amazon and WGOI entering the weight loss market. However, the presenter argues that weight loss is only a part of Hims & Hers' broader strategy, with substantial projected revenue outside of this segment.
Hims & Hers plans to expand through offering more products (longevity solutions, peptides) and geographic expansion (Europe, Canada). A significant opportunity lies in artificial intelligence, leveraging a recent billion-dollar capital raise to build an AI team for personalized medicine. The goal is to provide comprehensive, individualized solutions, integrating patient data to improve outcomes and foster long-term loyalty.
The company aims to simplify healthcare by removing traditional burdens. Their 'med match' technology connects users with solutions, leading to better outcomes, more subscribers, and a stronger platform. By integrating personal health data (like from wearables and labs), Hims & Hers can offer highly personalized, convenient, and effective healthcare solutions, disrupting brick-and-mortar medical systems. This platform approach could position them as a multi-trillion dollar company in the long term.
With a market cap under $8 billion, Hims & Hers has an enterprise value to sales ratio of 3.8. This is significantly lower than comparable high-growth companies like Palantir and Novo Nordisk, despite Hims & Hers having a higher growth rate. While acknowledging short-term volatility and investor concerns, the presenter remains bullish due to the company's long-term vision, leadership, and potential to build a lasting healthcare platform. The current stock discount is seen as a buying opportunity for a potentially 10x-100x investment.
