Hims & Hers May 11 Q1 2026 Print Preview: $600–625M Revenue Guide, Testosterone Rx+ Diversifies Beyond GLP-1, Peptide Manufacturing Pivot Looms Post-PCAC

Hims & Hers reports Q1 2026 results May 11 after market close. Company guidance: $600–625M revenue (2–7% YoY) and $35–55M adjusted EBITDA (~7% margin), with Q1 carrying a roughly $65M timing impact from the weight-loss shift to 503A fulfillment. Outlook (ex-Eucalyptus) is $2.7–2.9B revenue and $300–375M EBITDA. Hims also launched Testosterone Rx+ — a once-daily pill for low-libido idiopathic hypogonadism — as a non-GLP-1 specialty addition, signaling the wider longevity and peptide play the company has telegraphed for 2026. The California peptide-manufacturing facility acquired in February 2025 sits as a post-PCAC option for producing reclassified Category 1 peptides if the July meeting clears the path.

The piece argues the California peptide manufacturing facility acquired in 2025 — originally for compounded GLP-1s — could pivot to producing reclassified peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, and KPV if July's PCAC clears the path.
