HIMSBullunverifiable
Asymmetric Investing by Travis Hoium“This is not a company that's going to have a market cap of $7 billion... This is going to be a company that's worth 10 times 100 times what it is today.”
Thesis at the time
Strongly BullishTravis argues Hims & Hers is executing a long-term strategy to become a single, unified global healthcare brand (akin to Netflix or Uber), unifying its Hims/Hers branding, tech stack, and pharma deals across countries following acquisitions like Eucalyptus. He sees the recent Australia rebrand as symbolic of a much larger opportunity to become the dominant global aggregator of healthcare demand, driving subscriber growth, rising revenue per subscriber, and eventually a much higher valuation.
Key arguments
- Unifying disparate international brands (like Pilot in Australia) into one global 'Hims' brand mirrors the playbook of Netflix, Uber, Google, and Facebook.
- Subscribers have grown from ~600,000 at the end of 2021 to 2.9 million currently, boosted by the Eucalyptus acquisition and branded weight-loss products.
- Monthly revenue per subscriber has risen from $59 to $92 and could reach at least $300 as more branded solutions, labs, and services are added.
- The combination of subscriber growth and rising spend per subscriber supports a ~55% revenue CAGR, with 2026 guidance implying over 50% growth in the second half of the year.
- Becoming a single global brand and unified tech stack makes the business more efficient and scalable long-term, positioning it as an 'aggregator of demand' in healthcare.
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- The stock has been volatile, falling as much as 50% at one point due to market concerns.
- The company is not yet profitable, and it's unclear when operating profit and net income will improve.
- Integrating tech stacks and branding across countries will take time.
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Stock has experienced significant volatility (down 50% at some point)
- Integration of acquisitions and unified tech stack will take time
- Long-term vision required; near-term execution risks exist
- Analyst holds HIMS as largest position in personal portfolio (potential bias)

Confidence Reasoning
Certainty language ('going to be') is offset by the conditional framing ('if him and hers is successful in doing this'), yielding moderate confidence.
