Stock Track12-06

Shares of Hims & Hers Health Inc. (HIMS) surged 5.06% in intraday trading on Friday, as investors cheered the company's potential for growth in the weight-loss drug market.

According to analysts at Canaccord Genuity, compounded versions of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs represent a high-growth revenue stream for telehealth firms like Hims & Hers in the near term. A survey conducted by the brokerage found that nearly half of the respondents interested in taking GLP-1 drugs were undecided between branded or compounded versions, leaving ample room for the compounded option to gain further adoption.

Notably, Hims & Hers was the most recognized telehealth platform among the survey respondents who expressed interest in using such a service to obtain GLP-1 treatment. The company's value proposition of providing affordable and easy access to medication and medical professionals aligns well with the key factors influencing respondents' selection of a telehealth platform.
