Hims & Hers announced a $1.15 billion acquisition of Australian telehealth firm Eucalyptus, marking its largest expansion yet into international markets. The deal, finalized in February 2026, instantly adds $450 million in annualized revenue. The move follows recent legal and regulatory setbacks, including a 16% stock drop after a Novo Nordisk lawsuit and FDA restrictions on its GLP-1 copycat pills. Despite risks, the company is aggressively scaling globally. Eucalyptus specializes in digital healthcare, aligning with Hims & Hers’ telehealth model. The acquisition diversifies its portfolio beyond U.S. operations, targeting Australia’s growing telemedicine sector. Financing the deal consumes most of Hims & Hers’ cash reserves, eliminating a financial safety net that previously reassured investors. This raises concerns about liquidity amid ongoing legal battles. The acquisition comes as Hims & Hers expands its lab offerings, including cancer testing, signaling a broader push into diagnostics. Analysts debate whether growth justifies the high cost and depleted cash position.
