It definitely is. Not getting sued for potentially treble damages is game changing

NVO's Pressure Forces HIMS to Pivot What both bulls and bears need to understand is the financial impact of HIMS pivoting hard from the compounded GLP-1 strategy

Below, we break down the math on how a lower-margin, high-AOV-compounding business could look after it switches to a high-margin, lower-AOV business.

The impact could be severe. Have a read.

Without knowing what $HIMS will charge on top of the list price of $NVO drugs, we can estimate just how much that business will be impacted, depending on how much of its existing GLP-1 base transfers over.

While litigation is off the table, the go-forward portion of the business, which is estimated to be >$800M in 2025, could look dramatically different for the next 9 months of the year.

Yesterday, $NVO announced it was ending its suit against $HIMS, and the stock rallied hard. Investors were right to shoot first and ask questions later.

However, the future of the GLP-1 business still needs to be addressed.

Do people actually believe that $QURE gets the new requested study tossed now that Vinay is out?

IPO Notes: Unprofitable Once Upon A Farm (OFRM) Goes Public Taking a look at the recent OFRM IPO, co-founded by actress Jennifer Garner, and why it could be an interesting setup for the newest CPG brand to hit the market

However, nearing mature gross margins, we struggle to see how this unprofitable company can expand much further, even on the heels of solid y/y growth.

See why below - earnings on March 12.

Record Numbers of Workers Are Raiding Their 401(k) Savings

Last year, a record 6% of workers in 401(k) plans administered by Vanguard Group took a hardship withdrawal. That is up from 4.8% in 2024 and a prepandemic average of about 2%, according to Vanguard.

LMAO. Noom just said on their call with Evercore right now that they weren't entertaining the Lipomosal Wegovy pill because it didn't even pass their first bar of efficacy data πŸ˜‚

Basically saying who knew if it even worked and this is him saying this before $HIMS launched it

FinTwit sentiment for almost everything

When the price is up: "Yea exactly, the market is right. Definitely makes sense."

When the price is down: "Market is wrong! It's these stupid shorts and Jane Street trying to tear it all down! You just don't get it dude! Manipulation!"

Tender offer going through by WHP for $LE shares at $45/share

By the end of the buying, WHP will own 7% of $LE

Remember, all you need is just ONE good idea to pay for a research services annual cost

To anyone that went in and tendered, congrats πŸŽ‰

Quite frustrating when you're looking at a company's adjusted EBITDA add-backs and they keep expensing things as if it's a "one-time charge" even though it keeps showing up quarter after quarter after quarter

Clearly, it's not a one-time expense!

$EVLV is interesting because it seems like every week you get some type of deal or article highlighting a new deal/client or upgrade and yet this thing continues to dump

This trade is in the restaurant space, and after stock prices in the industry were hammered last year, it looks like sharks are starting to circle stable, asset-light businesses while valuations are depressed.

See which one we're talking about in the note below that could lead to a bidding war.

As much as I want them to go that far, I also don't think they will. They'll eventually settle something but it will still be very crippling to HIMS now that it has to worry about $1 billion of debt
