Hims & Hers Health (HIMS) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why

HIMS Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of telehealth company Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) jumped 4.4% in the morning session after the stock's positive momentum continued as the company announced its expansion into the testosterone replacement therapy market by launching a new category in men's health. 

The telehealth company is tapping into a large, underserved market, as an estimated 20 million men in the U.S. struggle with low testosterone. The new offerings will initially include compounded enclomiphene, a drug used to treat the condition. Furthermore, Hims & Hers announced an exclusive partnership with Marius Pharmaceuticals to offer KYZATREX®, an FDA-approved oral testosterone medication, starting in 2026. This strategic move marks the company's entry into the fast-growing hormonal health sector, seen as a way to expand its core sexual health franchise, particularly as sales from its weight-loss drugs have recently slowed.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $49.55, up 3.7% from previous close.
