Hims & Hers and Plug Power Report Earnings Results Below Some Expectations

Hims & Hers posted weaker earnings per share and slightly lower revenue than estimates, while Plug Power missed profit estimates but exceeded revenue forecasts.

Fact Check
The X post by @unusual_whales (the linked primary source) directly reports the Q1 2026 earnings data: Hims & Hers posted EPS of -$0.40 vs. estimate of $0.03 (a significant miss) and revenue of $608M vs. estimate of $616M (slightly below), and Plug Power posted EPS of -$0.18 vs. estimate of -$0.10 (missed profit) with revenue of $163M vs. estimate of $139M (exceeded). This matches the claim's characterization precisely. The Alphastreet preview corroborates the consensus estimates for Hims & Hers ($0.03 EPS, $616.9M revenue), and the Hims & Hers IR page confirms Q1 2026 guidance consistent with the reported revenue figure. Confidence is medium rather than high because the actual Q1 2026 earnings press releases from Hims & Hers and Plug Power investor relations pages were not directly fetched to confirm the actuals, and the primary source is a social media aggregator rather than an official filing.
