1019 ET - Hims & Hers Health is still benefiting from the fact that consumers are struggling to obtain branded weight-loss drugs, known as GLP-1s, TD Cowen analysts say in a research note. The stock has been volatile due to uncertainty around whether Hims can keep offering its compounded GLP-1 after a shortage of branded GLP-1s was resolved, the analysts say. But the environment for GLP-1s is still highly dynamic and Hims' compounded version is still a credible solution for consumers that can't easily get branded GLP-1s, the analysts say. That said, the risk remains that regulators could swoop in at some point with new restrictions around compounded drugs, the analysts say. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
