Is there something to it or is it just news? 🥺
I think Gerd Kommer would say: Investment pornography 🤭

HIMS & HERS
The weight loss bonanza is coming to an end
The shares of US pharmaceutical service provider Hims & Hers (WKN: A2QMYY), which have risen by around 250 percent in the past year, could be facing a massive correction, according to hedge fund circles.
The background: the company actually specialized in telemedicine, but made a foray into the generics business. However, its stock market success only came with the boom in weight loss products. Hims & Hers sold an active ingredient via the platform that was said to contain similar ingredients to the two blockbusters Wegovy and Ozempic. Because approved preparations were in short supply, not everyone received the drug. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) then has the option of allowing the sale of similar active ingredients. Hims & Hers benefited from this. The company's sales and profits rose exponentially. The share followed suit and reached new record highs at the end of last year. However, the air is now likely to become thinner. For one thing, there have been deaths among the unauthorized imitators. According to a hedge fund, the product manufacturer of Hims & Hers does not have an impeccable reputation. All of this harbors a high risk of damages in the medium term.
But the bonanza could come to an end much sooner. The manufacturers of the originals, the two pharmaceutical giants Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, have stated that they now have sufficient drugs. One indication of this is that Novo is once again actively advertising on television and Facebook. This means that the day is approaching when the FDA will declare the end of the shortage.
Sales, profits and probably also the share price could then collapse. LA
