@Mindset4Money_X This market almost demands perfection, many assets priced to perfection.
Net margins, EPS, and net income all lower than the previous quarter, a drop should be expected here. 🤷
$HIMS just launched a Costco and Amazon Prime style membership service called Labs.
Post I made a while ago:
"HIMS is positioning itself to move from a Tier C subscription business into a Tier A membership platform on the level of Amazon Prime and Costco.
The latest earnings make it clear that the foundation is being built around three major pillars: the app, MedMatch, and lab testing.
The app is designed to become the central hub for health. It connects users to MedMatch, the company’s AI system that draws from millions of clinical interactions to deliver highly personalized care recommendations. This creates a level of precision that scales with the growth of the platform.
With the acquisition of Trybe Labs, Hims can now integrate comprehensive at-home testing directly into the membership. Customers will be able to monitor key biomarkers such as cholesterol, hormones, thyroid function, cardiac risk, and more through a simple at-home collection. These results feed into the platform to refine recommendations and strengthen engagement with care.
Together, these elements establish the infrastructure for a true health membership. The app serves as the entry point, MedMatch provides the intelligence, and lab testing delivers the data that allows care to be proactive and personalized. A single subscription becomes an ongoing relationship where members continue to find value in maintaining and improving their health over time.
Dudum’s vision is to transform how people access healthcare. By building an ecosystem that is accessible, affordable, and preventative, Hims is creating a model that moves beyond single-condition treatment and becomes a membership people consider essential."
As I am hearing talk about a rotation, or profit-taking, out of the high-flying AI stocks and into value stocks and Dow names - I decided to do some digging to validate this..
Energy $XLE +6%
Healthcare $XLV +7%
Value Stocks $VLUE +4%
All outperformed $NDX (+2%) over last 30d🤫
II am hearing talk about a rotation, or profit-taking, out of the high-flying AI stocks and into value stocks and Dow names -- this is certainly what the LLMs think
Last 5D - S&P500 Growth Stocks $VOOG underperforming S&P500 Value Stocks $VOOV - short term trend only? 🤷
People asking what happened to $META
It's pretty easy
-82% YoY drop in EPS & profit margin
So w/o unpacking where the missing revenue went the sticker shock of this EPS drop, plus bearish AI sentiment is pushing this lower.
Why the EPS drop?👇

$EXPE definition of a surprise, category after category shows YoY growth - B2B, B2C, Ad revenue, and non-US Point-of-Sale up 15% YoY
This tells a very clear story about state/health of travel, domestically, and internationally.
@Mayhem4Markets Gemini just doesn't perform as well as GPT consistently, Claude is actually the under-marketed product here based on how well it performs relative to the rest of the list. Not on nerd benchmarks but actually practically daily use cases, per user experience.
@investingbyGenZ I dont doubt it, RE 2025. Investors are hard to satisfy in this mrkt
Last 6Q net income or annual margins, anyway you look at it, this is trading like a value stock w/o the fat dividend
I read first small dividend was declared in oct - so mngmnt is seeing the way forward imo
@investingbyGenZ Good point, but investors are very much what have you done for me lately -- tight spread btwn PE & Fwd PE also tells me investors may not be seeing this as growth stock anymore
Annual profit margin is basically flat since 2016, so I can see why investors would be underwhelmed
