๐จ $HIMS CALL VOLUME BULLISH
(after plunging 6% on the open for literally no reasonโฆ stock has mostly recovered all losses now and is back above $30)
@novernong I posted about it because (1) it's important info, (2) zero other media outlets reported on the news, and (3) I just found out about it yesterday.
I want $HIMS to be at $100. Yesterday.
As many have said in the comments:
This is old news: the document was posted to the FDA's website a month ago.
Nevertheless, the Form 483 has been reported by a grand total of 0 media outlets.
I think it's important information to share.
๐จ FDA FLAGGED DRUG CONTAMINATION & STERILITY CONCERNS AT $HIMS SUBSIDIARY XECARE
Form 483 to XeCare LLC citing 3 concerns:
1. Inadequate cleaning between hazardous drug batches, approximately 56 air-pressure alarm events
2. Improper exposure of materials used for injectable semaglutide to lower-grade air
3. Untested water used in minoxidil gummies
FDA inspected the facility from June 8-17, and issued the Form 483 on June 17
The document was publicly posted to FDA website on Sep 10, 2026
IMPORTANT NOTE: A Form 483 identifies *potentially* significant violations but is LESS SEVERE than an FDA Warning Letter and does NOT constitute a final determination of wrongdoing

๐จ THE NARRATIVE IS ALREADY TAKING HOLD THAT $HIMS IS THE SINGLE-BEST WAY TO PLAY PEPTIDES IN THE PUBLIC MARKETS
"For investors looking for the sharpest single-stock read on a peptide regulatory green light, $HIMS itself is that vehicle."
"The companyโs explicit public commitment to a peptide lineup by year-end 2026, combined with its existing telehealth infrastructure and the distribution reach it built during the compounded GLP-1 era, positions it as the most operationally ready publicly traded platform to monetize any expansion in compounding-pharmacy peptide access."
