Hims & Hers stock price jumps: Telehealth company acquires Zava, picking up over a million Europe customers
American telehealth company Hims & Hers Health announced on Tuesday that it will be acquiring Zava, a leading European digital health company in an all cash acquisition set to close in the second half of 2025. Following the announcement, Hims' stock price (HIMS) jumped 5.8% in premarket trading. (As of midday Tuesday, the stock was trading up just under one point.) The household auto fleet is a money pit Where are the wildfires in Canada? Maps pinpoint the location of fires and air-quality threats from smoke This company asked most corporate employees to relocate to Chicago. The majority declined The move will rapidly expand Hims & Hers' reach, which has a current base of 2.4 million U.S. customers. As the only digital health company with over a decade of operations across Germany, France, Ireland, and the U.K., Zava has an active user base of 1.3 million. 'The demand for simpler, more personalized healthcare is universal,' said Andrew Dudum, founder and CEO of Hims & Hers, in a press release. 'By leveraging Zava's established European presence, cutting-edge technology, and deep customer understanding, we're poised to fundamentally transform access to care for millions across Europe. Whether in rural towns, vibrant cities, or remote communities across Europe, people battling widespread, often silent chronic conditions like obesity, depression, and more will have access to the personalized, high-quality care they deserve.' Expanding to Europe is additionally beneficial because the E.U.'s universal healthcare policies make pharmaceuticals much more affordable relative to the U.S. This means that personalized telehealth services like Hims & Hers could become more widely accessible there. 'The medications are priced more competitively than in the U.S. so more people can actually afford it and we are seeing a huge demand,' said Zava CEO David Meinertz in an interview with CNBC. 'The demand is increasing with additional strains on the statutory systems that telehealth can alleviate.' Hims & Hers' most recent earnings report in May revealed a revenue of $586 million for the quarter, an increase of 111% over the first quarter of last year, as the platform continues to expand. The company's current market cap is $12.5 billion as of Tuesday. This post originally appeared at to get the Fast Company newsletter: Sign in to access your portfolio
