Hims & Hers Health, Inc. CFO Yemi Okupe Discusses Strategic Growth, Personalization, and International Expansion at JPMorgan Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference
Key Takeaways
TL;DR: HIMS raised bold 2030 targets ($6.5B rev., $1.3B adj. EBITDA) driven by deeper personalization, intl. expansion, and strategic partnerships (e.g., Novo Nordisk). Key growth pillars include subscriber retention via multi-condition treatments, lab-driven diagnostics, and GenAI-powered care under new CTO Mohsin “Mo” Dar (ex-Cruise). Weight loss remains critical (~triple-digit growth), alongside dermatology (+45% growth) and new specialties (low testosterone, longevity).
