On August 24, Hims & Hers Health Inc. declined 6.78% in regular trading, trading at $31.0 per share, with turnover of approximately $48.81 million. The decline was driven by Barclays lowering its price target from $39 to $35 while maintaining an Overweight rating, compounded by ongoing pressure from credit card dispute issues.
According to reports, the company was enrolled in Visa's Acquirer Monitoring Program following a surge in credit card disputes in July related to its weight-loss subscription business. Each dispute carries an $8 surcharge, resulting in an estimated bill of nearly $75,000 in September. The company was notified by payment processor Stripe and must bring its dispute rate below 1.5% of transactions for three consecutive months to exit the program. A company spokesperson stated it has seen a relatively small number of disputed charges and has taken steps to address the issue.
The stock had previously recovered from a 12%-plus drop on July 30 triggered by an FTC lawsuit alleging improper data sharing with Meta and Snap, but the latest developments have renewed selling pressure.
