Hims & Hers (HIMS) stock slides premarket as FDA targets “copycat drugs” over $49 Wegovy pill

New York, Feb 6, 2026, 08:45 EST — Premarket Shares of Hims & Hers Health dropped 3.8% to $23.48 in premarket trading on Friday. The slide came after FDA Commissioner Marty Makary warned the agency would act quickly against firms mass-marketing “illegal copycat drugs.” The stock had already fallen 3.8% on Thursday and plunged nearly 10% after hours, following Makary’s post on X stating, “The FDA cannot verify the quality, safety, or effectiveness of non-approved drugs.” His comments came after Hims introduced a compounded version of Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy weight-loss medication.

London, February 6, 2026, 13:37 GMT — Regular session London’s FTSE 100 edged up on Friday as gains in major banks outweighed another drop from data analytics firm RELX, which continues to feel pressure amid the global AI selloff.

NEW YORK, February 6, 2026, 08:36 EST — Premarket U.S. stock index futures rose ahead of Friday’s open as traders tried to steady after a bruising week for tech, while Amazon sank in early trading on another jolt to the AI spending story.

Mortgage rates cling to 6% as jobs data softens; Pizza Hut lines up 250 closures

U.S. mortgage rates stayed pinned near 6% this week, with the benchmark 30-year fixed rate barely moving in Freddie Mac’s weekly survey. A daily gauge dipped on Thursday after a run of downbeat employment data sparked a bond rally.
