After Doubling in Six Montsh, Is it Too Late to Buy Hims & Hers Stock?
Summary
Parkev discusses Hims & Hers, a rapidly growing healthcare company that achieved over $753 million in revenue in its most recent quarter, a 40% year-over-year increase, and now boasts over 3 million subscribers. The company has expanded internationally into three markets, each approaching a $100 million revenue run rate, thanks to its acquisition of Eucalyptus. Parkev highlights the company's aggressive approach in a "gray area" of product sales, leading to litigation and regulatory difficulties, which contributes to its significant stock price volatility, often moving two to three times more than the S&P 500. He emphasizes that this stock is exclusively for investors with a high-risk tolerance who are not unsettled by volatility.
Parkev sees Hims & Hers as an innovator in the healthcare industry, addressing long-standing customer complaints about service and cost by offering value outside the traditional system. The company has generated $2.6 billion in revenue over the last 12 months and is utilizing artificial intelligence to improve customer experience and reduce service costs. While its operating profit margins have been highly volatile, fluctuating from -45% to +15% and back to flat/negative levels, Parkev expects this trend to continue for a few years as the company navigates the industry and establishes its position before focusing on efficiencies.
Mentioned Stocks
Reasoning: Parkev reiterates his "buy" rating for Hims & Hers, a stock he previously recommended on March 30th when it traded at $19 per share, now closer to $30.60. He highlights its strong revenue growth (40% YOY to over $753 million), international expansion, and over 3 million subscribers. Despite facing litigation and high volatility, Parkev believes the company's forward price-to-earnings ratio of 27 is attractive for its growth prospects. His discounted cash flow valuation estimates a fair value of $28.50, and he explains that the current market price of $30.60 is well within his extended 10-15% margin of safety range for this volatile stock, compared to his usual 5-10% margin. Parkev explicitly states that this stock is only suitable for investors with a high-risk tolerance who are comfortable with significant price fluctuations.
