  • Hims Stock Surges on Key FDA Review of Peptides Offering New Growth Path
    April 23, 2026, 6:11 PM EDT. Hims & Hers (HIMS) shares have climbed more than 50% in two weeks following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's announcement of a July meeting to review peptide compounds for expanded access. The FDA panel will evaluate several peptides, including BPC-157 and Semax, marking a potential gateway for Hims' peptide-focused strategies. This development injects a fresh growth narrative amid Hims' pivot from compounded GLP-1 weight-loss drugs to FDA-approved treatments, aligning with Novo Nordisk's products. Earlier, Hims acquired a California peptide manufacturing facility to bolster supply and innovation in areas like metabolic health and cognitive performance. Strong underlying fundamentals back the rally, with Q4 revenue up 28% year-on-year to $617.8 million and full-year revenue at $2.35 billion, a 59% increase. Investors see peptides as a durable growth driver beyond previous headlines.
