Hims & Hers Shares Drop After Q3 Loss and Lowered 2026 Outlook
Telehealth firm Hims & Hers reported a Q3 loss, a sharp fall in gross margin and cut its 2026 profit guidance, sending the stock down over 12% in two sessions.
Key takeaways
- Hims & Hers posted a Q3 GAAP loss of $33 million and missed earnings expectations.
- Gross margin slipped to 57% from 74% a year earlier as lower‑margin weight‑loss drugs grew.
- The company lowered its full‑year adjusted EBITDA and revenue forecasts, prompting a 12% share decline.
Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) saw its shares tumble more than 12% over two trading sessions after the telehealth company released its third‑quarter results and trimmed its 2026 financial outlook. The stock closed at $22.94 on Monday, fell to $22.09 in pre‑market trade on Tuesday, and is hovering near $22.10, according to CoinCentral.
Q3 Results Show Losses and Margin Compression
The company reported a GAAP net loss of $33 million, or $0.14 per share, versus a profit of $15.8 million a year earlier. Revenue grew 49% year‑over‑year to $890.4 million, just shy of FactSet’s consensus of $893 million, while gross margin fell to 57% from 74% in the prior year, a decline attributed to a larger share of lower‑margin branded GLP‑1 weight‑loss treatments in international markets, as noted by The Crypto Basic.
Subscriber Base Misses Expectations
Hims & Hers ended September with 2.788 million subscribers, 13% above the year‑earlier level but 3.6% lower than the 2.891 million recorded at the end of June. Wall Street had projected 3.04 million subscribers for the quarter, according to CoinCentral. Monthly revenue per subscriber rose 30% to $105, indicating higher per‑user spend despite the subscriber shortfall.
Guidance Cut and Outlook for 2026
Management lowered its full‑year adjusted EBITDA target to $257 million–$277 million from $275 million–$325 million and narrowed revenue guidance to $3.13 billion–$3.15 billion, below the consensus of about $3.21 billion. For Q4, the company projects revenue of $875 million–$895 million and adjusted EBITDA of $70 million–$90 million, both falling short of analyst estimates. CFO Yemi Okupe said the cuts reflect delayed recognition of weight‑loss membership revenue and upcoming pricing and marketing initiatives in international markets.
What to Watch Next
Investors will be monitoring the impact of Hims & Hers’ partnership with Eli Lilly on weight‑loss drug sales, the rollout of new international marketing spend in the UK and Germany, and the timing of deferred membership revenue that could boost 2027 results. Additionally, the performance of the tokenized bStocks (HIMSB) instrument, which fell 14% over the past 24 hours, may provide insight into market sentiment toward the broader brand.
