Hims & Hers Health, Inc.

In recent trading, shares of Hims & Hers Health Inc (Symbol: HIMS) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $15.18, changing hands for $15.51/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised.
There are 12 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for Hims & Hers Health Inc, but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $11.00. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $18.00. The standard deviation is $2.098.
But the whole reason to look at the average HIMS price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with HIMS crossing above that average target price of $15.18/share, investors in HIMS have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $15.18 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table? Below is a table showing the current thinking of the analysts that cover Hims & Hers Health Inc:
The average rating presented in the last row of the above table above is from 1 to 5 where 1 is Strong Buy and 5 is Strong Sell. This article used data provided by Zacks Investment Research via Quandl.com. Get the latest Zacks research report on HIMS — FREE.

More Information on Partha Mohanram
About Partha Mohanram: Sometimes the best investing strategies don't come from the world of investing. Sometimes research that changes the investing world can come from the halls of academia. Partha Mohanram is a great example of this. While academic research has shown that value investing works over time, it has found the opposite for growth investing. Mohanram turned that research on its head by developing a growth model that produced significant market outperformance. His research paper "Separating Winners from Losers among Low Book-to-Market Stocks using Financial Statement Analysis" looked at the criteria that can be used to separate growth stocks that continue their upward trajectory from those that don't. Mohanram is currently the John H. Watson Chair in Value Investing at the University of Toronto and was previously an Associate Professor at the Columbia Business School.

Chicago, IL – August 14, 2025– Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights IonQ IONQ, Hims and Hers HIMS, Eli Lilly LLY and TransMedics Group TMDX.
3 Unusual Insider Transactions You Should Know About
Insider transactions, particularly insider buys, are a valuable tool for investors to monitor because they can provide insight into how the company's management team feels about the company's future. Additionally, insider buy transactions may provide peace of mind for investors, signaling that management has skin in the game and is willing to bet on themselves.
For instance, in a March 25th article, I pointed out that two IonQ insiders made unusually large purchases of IONQ stock. The insider buys were particularly attention-grabbing for a few reasons, including the larger-than-normal size of the transactions and the fact that more than one insider was buying shares. Since then, shares have risen nearly 60% and have doubled in value at one point.
Insider Trades: What to look for
Investors need to understand that when it comes to analyzing insider transactions, not all are equal. Insider buys typically hold more weight for investors because insiders only buy stock for one reason – they believe the share price will increase.
Conversely, insider sales are less meaningful because insiders may have pre-planned sales or may be selling stock for personal reasons (though there are, of course, exceptions to the rule). The two most important factors to look for are time and size. If an insider buys stock for the first time in years and buys a lot, it's usually a good omen for the stock.
3 Recent Insider Transactions to Watch
HIMS CEO Makes Largest Insider Sale in Company History
Recent filings show that Hims and Hers CEO Andrew Dudum sold more than $30 million worth of HIMS stock. Unfortunately, the insider sale is not a one-off instance. Insiders have sold a combined $199 million worth of shares during the past year!
In addition to the troubling insider sells, HIMS has been a choppy, news-driven, and difficult stock to trade.
LLY Insiders Buy the Dip
Pharma giant Eli Lilly shares suffered a 14% drop on August 7th after a worse-than-anticipated earnings report. However, a slew of LLY insiders see the dip as an opportunity to scoop up cheap shares. Since the EPS report, five insiders, including CEO David A. Ricks, bought nearly $3 million worth of stock. The large multiple buys may mean that the stock is nearing a bottom.
TMDX CEO Bets Big
The latest insider transaction filings show that TransMedics Group CEO & President Waleed Hassanein bought nearly $2 million worth of his company's stock. The transaction marks the first insider buy of the medical products company since 2023.
Bottom Line
While no single indicator can guarantee a stock's performance, the pattern of insider transactions can offer a powerful glimpse into a company's prospects.
