GLP-1 DRUGS COMPOUND SNACK MAKERS' WOES
Packaged food makers such as Hershey HSY.N face a greater threat from weight-loss drugs than anticipated, with usage on the rise, helped by online health platforms offering compounded GLP-1 weight-loss injections, analysts at Bernstein noted.
With branded GLP-1 drugs from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly short in supply, demand for custom-made weight-loss treatments created by combining, mixing, or altering drug ingredients has soared, and could be reaching a larger number of GLP-1 patients than captured in official data, Bernstein said.
Patterns of food consumption pointed to weakness for sweet snacks and fast food, and strength for healthier items such as soup, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, which are consistent with the eating habits of GLP-1 patients, Bernstein noted.
The brokerage downgraded chocolate maker Hershey to "market-perform," on risks that volume recovery may be more sluggish than expected due to GLP-1 headwinds, while raising soup maker Campbell to "outperform."
U.S. telehealth company Hims & Hers Health HIMS.N began selling compounded GLP-1 medications in May. The company said in August, that the program had about 100,000 subscribers.
Vitamin Shoppe also provided access to weight-loss medication through its telehealth service, while retailer Costco Wholesale offered its roughly 130 million members access to weight-loss programs this year.
The S&P 500 Packaged Foods & Meats .SPLRCFOOD has risen 2.6% so far this year, lagging a 14% rise in the consumer staples index .SPLRCS, and a 20% rise in the S&P 500 .SPX index.
