Hims discloses SEC probe as its legal woes mount

Hims & Hers said that it is under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, adding another legal challenge for the telehealth company.

The SEC requested that it preserve records related to its compounded GLP-1 treatments, Hims disclosed in a regulatory filing on Monday. The news came after the company reported earnings results and gave soft full-year guidance.

Shares extended losses to down more than 8% in postmarket trading after the 10-K, which detailed this probe, was released.

Hims is already facing a patent infringement lawsuit from Novo Nordisk and a potential probe from the Department of Justice. Both arose after Hims released (and then discontinued) a copy of Novos Wegovy pill.

From the companys 10-K filing:

In February 2026, the Company received a letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Division of Enforcement, notifying the Company that it had opened an investigation and requesting that the Company preserve certain documents and information concerning the Company’s public statements and disclosures regarding compounded semaglutide and related business relationships (the SEC Investigation). The Company is cooperating with the SEC Investigation but is unable to predict when or how this matter will be concluded. Therefore, the financial impact of the SEC Investigation cannot be predicted at this time.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.

Nike sinks to lowest level since 2014 after warning of “challenged” sales environment in Q4 report

Did Nike do it?

Investors had a mixed reaction after the global sports apparel company reported its fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday after the bell. Shares initially rose 5% as Nike beat out Wall Street expectations amid a hefty tariff refund bonus. However, the stock then sank to its lowest level since August 2014 in postmarket trading.

Here are the Q4 numbers:

  • Revenue of $11.0 billion (estimate: $10.8 billion).

  • Adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 (estimate: $0.12).

Ahead of this report, Nike warned that results would be flattered by a one-time tariff refund (now estimated at roughly $0.52 per share for the bottom line). That gave the company an extra cushion in snapping its streak of seven quarters of year-over-year profit declines.

Over the past year, the company had been punished by tariffs on imported goods, stagnant consumer spending, and increasing competition from other footwear brands like New Balance, Adidas, and Hoka.

Outgoing CFO Matthew Friend deemed it an “increasingly challenging operating environment, where sell-through remains challenged.”
