Hims & Hers Health's $1.9 Billion Volume Climbs to 45th as Shares Edge Up 0.35% Amid Telemedicine Shifts

Hims & Hers Health (HIMS) traded with a volume of $1.90 billion on October 8, 2025, ranking 45th in trading activity across the stock market that day. The stock closed up 0.35%.

Recent developments surrounding Hims have focused on regulatory and operational dynamics. A key factor influencing investor sentiment appears to be evolving guidance from health authorities regarding telemedicine protocols. The company’s strategic pivot toward expanding its digital healthcare platform has drawn attention from analysts, though no specific earnings or partnership announcements were disclosed in the latest reporting window.

Market participants are also monitoring broader sector trends, as shifts in consumer adoption of virtual care services continue to shape competitive positioning. While the stock’s modest gain suggests cautious optimism, traders remain wary of macroeconomic headwinds affecting discretionary healthcare spending. Volume levels indicate active but measured participation, with institutional activity noted in pre-market sessions.

To set up an accurate back-test I need to nail down a few implementation details: 1. Universe • US-listed common stocks only, or a broader global universe? • Any filters on minimum price, market-cap, or listing exchange? 2. Weighting & sizing • Equal-weight each of the 500 names, or volume-weighted / cap-weighted? • Allocate 100% of capital every day, or some cap on leverage? 3. Execution convention • Buy at the day’s close and exit at the next day’s close (typical approach), or buy next-day open and sell next-day close? • Include bid-ask spread, commissions, or other transaction costs? If yes, please specify. 4. Benchmark (optional) • Any particular benchmark you’d like the strategy judged against (e.g., S&P 500)? Once I have these details I can generate the daily trade signals, run the back-test from 2022-01-03 (first trading day of the year) through the latest data, and return performance stats and visuals.
