CNBC analysis frames Hims & Hers Health as the biggest direct-to-consumer beneficiary of the FDA's July PCAC meeting. Hims acquired a California peptide manufacturing facility in 2025 and can convert its GLP-1 compounding infrastructure to peptide production. The stock closed up 11.07% on April 16 after the FDA announcement; Bank of America raised its price target from $21 to $25, citing the platform's conversion potential.
Hims & Hers Health Inc. jumped as much as 12% after the FDA's advisory panel announcement, with investors betting the telehealth company will benefit from expanded legal access to compounded peptide therapies. RFK Jr. stated on X that this action would 'immediately begin shifting demand away from the black market.'
Hims & Hers stock briefly rallied on reports the FDA may ease peptide restrictions, but gains reversed. The company had proactively acquired a peptide production facility in California in 2025.
