Board reshuffle, DEF 14A filed, options market signal
HIMS is speeding up its shift from telehealth to a consumer health brand and is adding top marketing talent to its board. Ahead of the Q1 results (11 May), the shares are under pressure from the Amazon GLP-1 competition narrative, but bearish sentiment in the options market has not worsened further.
