Analysts question its strategy while rivals pivot to insurers and drugmakers adapt pricing strategies to stay competitive.
Hims & Hers Health is re-evaluating its strategy as it faces new challenges in the weight-loss drug market. The company thrived on producing cheaper versions of high-demand drugs during a supply shortage, but with regulatory changes, it now must shift its focus.
Hims' move to sell personalized dosages has raised eyebrows, with questions about compliance with regulatory standards and competition from major insurers adapting their coverage strategies. While rivals integrate with insurers, Hims remains firm in its direct-to-consumer approach.
