Eucalyptus brand consolidation, short-seller positioning, a preview of the shareholder meeting and a snapshot of sell-side consensus.

Analyst consensus

Breakdown

1 Buy, 3 Outperform, 12 Hold, 1 Underperform

Canaccord

Maintains Buy, $32 target. Peptides are a $20 billion market, and a 1% share equals $200 million in extra revenue.

Consensus target

$27-28.70 (shares at $26.19, about 4-10% upside)

Coverage

17 analysts

TIKR target

$39 (December 2030)

Key insights

  • All Eucalyptus brands will be retired in favour of a single global Hims & Hers brand. That lowers operating costs but risks losing local users.
  • The peptide business is not going overseas for now, as international markets wait on the outcome of the FDA's 23 Jul review. That puts the three-year $1 billion international target under heavy pressure.
  • A new bear thesis on ValueInvestorsClub estimates 60% downside, though the author concedes there is a risk of a short squeeze.
  • Short interest is about 31% of the float. It has held steady since late April, with no new shorts added.
  • Insiders' buy-to-sell ratio over the past 3 months is 1:20 (net selling), but most of the sales were under pre-set 10b5-1 plans.
  • 11 Jun annual shareholder meeting: the CEO's $22.96 million pay package (a pay ratio of 272:1) is a potential focus for negative headlines.

Short interest

Bear thesis

Pridwen's write-up on ValueInvestorsClub estimates 60% downside. The core argument is overvaluation, but it concedes the risk of a short squeeze.

Current

About 31% of the float

Trend

Steady since late April, no new shorts added

Catalysts to watch

  • Outcome of the FDA's peptide review on 23 Jul, which will set the pace of international expansion
  • 11 Jun annual shareholder meeting: result of the say-on-pay vote on CEO compensation
  • Progress on the Eucalyptus brand consolidation

Risks

  • A low approval rate in the CEO pay vote could spark a negative narrative in the short term
  • Retiring the local Eucalyptus brands could cost users in Australia and the UK
  • The three-year $1 billion international revenue target is under heavy pressure while peptides stay out of overseas markets
  • Continued net selling by insiders
