The online sexual health and pharmaceutical company plummet 8% on Friday from its opening price of $12.24 to $11.26 — just two days after Palestinian-American CEO Andrew Dudum said companies would be happy to have the protesters and encouraged them to apply to Hims and Hers.
“Moral courage > College degree,” Dudum tweeted on Thursday, amid the nationwide anti-Israel protests at universities that have seen more than 2,100 people arrested.
Hundreds more have been suspended or banned from campus activities for participating in the demonstrations.
“If you’re currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people & for your university’s divestment from Israel, keep going. It’s working,” Dudum added.
“There are plenty of companies & CEOs eager to hire you, regardless of university discipline,” he added alongside the Hims job openings link.
The market cap of the company opened at $2.62 billion and closed at $2.41 billion, and share price continued to slide in after-hours trading on Friday and Saturday.
Trading volume was also more than double the average for the stock — indicating that some shareholders were rushing to get out.
The Post has reached out to Hims and Hers for comment on the sudden stock drop.
College students across the country have been demanding that their school’s divest their finances from countries associated with Israel as it continues its retaliatory offensive in Gaza.
Dudum, who founded Hims and Hers in 2017 and has family in Gaza and the West Bank, took on a markedly different tone from other CEOs who have derided or promised not hire student protesters.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp blasted the protesters this week saying they should be shipped off to North Korea as part of an “exchange program” to give them perspective.
“We’re gonna do an exchange program sponsored by Karp. A couple months in North Korea, nice-tasting flavored bark. See how you feel about that,” the software boss said at the invite-only Hill and Valley Forum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, where he was the featured speaker.
Bill Ackman, head of Pershing Square Capital Management, was among first to publicly declare he wouldn’t hire students from Harvard who signed a letter allegedly blaming Israel for Hamas’ violent Oct. 7 attack.
The great-great-great grandson of President Teddy Roosevelt appears to have traded the Rough Riders for Hamas and Hezbollah, as he vocally supports the anti-Israel tent encampments erupting at universities across the country.
Quentin Colon Roosevelt, 18, a freshman at Princeton University who also once served as Washington DC’s youngest elected official, is staunchly anti-Israel despite his famous ancestor’s support for a Jewish state.
Roosevelt wants the Ivy League university, where he serves on the student government, to “divest” from Israel and has vowed “we will not stop, we will not rest” in a recent post on X that included an image of a hand-drawn Palestinian flag.
The teen, who also worked to re-elect ‘Squad” member Summer Lee this spring, retweeted a post from the far left rep likening Israel’s war against Hamas to a “genocide.”
Roosevelt also accused Israel of committing “massacres in Gaza,” but does not appear to have condemned Hamas’ horrific Oct. 7 terrorist attacks which left at least 1,200 Israelis dead.
The Bull Moose nepo baby has implied he’s even helped organize the anti-Israel demonstrations at Princeton, where students have displayed the Hezbollah flag, chanted for “intifada revolution,” and shoved Jewish counterprotesters.
“We’ve set up a peaceful student protest in solidarity with our peers at Columbia, Yale, UT Austin, and other universities nationwide,” Roosevelt wrote on X on the first day of protests.
Princeton has seen more than a dozen students arrested since the protests began April 25, and Roosevelt has been outspoken against the police action.
“You can threaten us, but you cannot silence us @Princeton,” the college freshman wrote on X.
Roosevelt attempted to pass an amendment in Princeton’s student government condemning the arrests, but an 11th-hour effort mounted by the school’s Jewish student body forced the vote to be rescheduled.
Theodore Roosevelt, who supported the Balfour declaration — issued by the British Government in 1917 during World War supporting the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, then an Ottoman region — had a very different attitude toward Israel than his distant descendent.
“It seems to me that it is entirely proper to start a Zionist state around Jerusalem,” Roosevelt famously said in 1918, at the end of World War I.
The 26th president, who himself was a Harvard man, was the first US president to appoint a Jew to his cabinet and lauded Jews who served under him when he was commissioner of the NYPD.
President Roosevelt criticized Russian Czar Nicholas II after the 1903 Kishniev pogrom, in which marauders killed 49 Jews and raped 600 Jewish women after rumors spread that a Jew murdered a Christian child.
Quentin Colon Roosevelt did not respond to the Post’s request for comment.
According to Asharq Al-Awsat, Hamas agreed to the deal after Israel removed its opposition to releasing a number of senior terrorists from prison, and following a commitment from the US that it would ensure Israel's full withdrawal from Gaza at the end of the second and last stage of the agreement, as well as the full cessation of the war.
Asharq Al-Awsat also reported that in the coming hours, Hamas is expected to announce that it has accepted the Egyptian proposal for a ceasefire, following intensive talks between Egypt and Qatar and between Israel and Hamas.
Al Quds quoted Arab sources as estimating that by the end of next week, is probable that there will be an agreement for a ceasefire.
Earlier on Saturday, an Egyptian channel reported that Hamas has given up on its demand for guarantees from the mediators for a permanent ceasefire in the first phase of the ceasefire in Gaza.
