What’s Happening
HIMS IS EXPANDING INTO CANADA, WILL SELL GENERIC SEMAGLUTIDE ONCE NOVO PATENT EXPIRES IN EARLY 2026 🇨🇦
Gap-up on the news, then wild intraday swing. Shares opened at $50.50 after a pre-market surge on the announcement that Hims is preparing to launch generic semaglutide in Canada in 2026. Shares spiked +7% out of the gate, flushed to $48.68, then clawed back to close at $51.18.
Volume was 38M — right on the 90-day avg
Canada boosts bull case, Citi throws cold water. CNBC pegged the Canadian semaglutide market at $1B+ today and $4B by 2035, in part fueled by Novo’s expiring patent. But Citi reiterated its Sell rating and $30 PT, helping spark the intraday pullback before dip-buyers stepped in.
Global expansion gains structure. Hims has appointed former ZAVA CEO David Meinertz as GM of International. The company now has regulatory footing and leadership in place to move quickly post-ZAVA close.
Options activity turns aggressive. One trader bought $328K worth of $85 call options for December, and others grabbed calls at the $55-$60 range—suggesting growing confidence in a big move after earnings next month. At the same time, short interest remains near record highs (~35%), keeping the door open for a potential squeeze.
New short interest data drops… TOMORROW 👀
Technical setup improving. Despite intraday volatility, the stock held $50 into the close and keeps setting higher lows. Bulls are eyeing a breakout above $52 to reopen the gap at $61.
