HIMS Q3 Earnings Call Highlights Marketing Reset and Margin Pressure
Hims & Hers Health reported Q3 2026 revenue of $890.4M (+49% YoY) and EPS of $0.03, missing estimates. The company is prioritizing weight-loss expansion and international growth over short-term subscriber gains, leading to a 100,000 sequential subscriber decline. Management cut full-year EBITDA guidance due to planned investments, while gross margins fell to 57% from 74% YoY.
