Hims and Hers loses $210 million in stock value after CEO says he is 'eager' to hire anti-Israel protesters
2024-05-05
[NYPOST] Buzzy healthcare company Hims & Hers lost nearly $210 million in stock value in a single day after the company’s CEO said he and other executives were "eager" to hire anti-Israel student protesters who’ve faced disciplinary actions from their universities.

The online sexual health and pharmaceutical company plummet 8% on Friday from its opening price of $12.24 to $11.26 — just two days after Paleostinian-American CEO Andrew Dudum said companies would be happy to have the protesters and encouraged them to apply to Hims and Hers.

"Moral courage > College degree," Dudum tweeted on Thursday, amid the nationwide anti-Israel protests at universities that have seen more than 2,100 people arrested.

Hundreds more have been suspended or banned from campus activities for participating in the demonstrations.

"If you’re currently protesting against the genocide of the Paleostinian people & for your university’s divestment from Israel, keep going. It’s working," Dudum added.

#9  The company's big revenue makers are hair restoration and erectile dysfunction treatment where the company provides a doctor to give an on line prescription. It is a pretty simple operation and one where they can target marketing relatively cheaply online. However other companies can do pretty well also.

#7  This happened in time to affect their stock price but not quarterly results.

Technically they could have to at least mention it in their guidance, but all they would have to do is acknowledge it may have an impact on future quarters.
