What this transaction means for investors
A key thing that sticks out about this filing is that Chi carries five separate RSU grants that vest quarterly out through June 2029. That shows you that this kind of automatic withholding sale isn't a one-off, and it also shows you he has plenty of reason to ensure HIMS stock keeps going up, even if the past year has been tough on the market. Those RSUs total up to nearly 600,000, so they're clearly substantial.
As COO, Chi is the one running the operational side of a company that just took on a lot at once. Hims & Hers closed its Eucalyptus acquisition in June, the largest in company history, and international revenue jumped to $131.4 million in the second quarter from $7.5 million a year earlier. CFO Yemi Okupe told investors the international business is expected to generate at least $600 million in 2026 revenue while operating "at or near breakeven" on adjusted EBITDA. Ultimately, that's the trade-off Chi is actually managing, fast global scale against thin near-term profitability, and it's a better gauge of his read on the business than a scheduled tax sale.
