What happened:Hims & Hers Health (HIMS) stock declined 3% before trimming losses on Tuesday
What’s behind the move: Shares were volatile after the telehealth company swung to a loss of $0.37 per share in the second quarter from a profit of $0.17 a share in the year-earlier period

The results were impacted by a one-time cost of $81 million during the quarter, including expenses related to the acquisition of the Australian-based digital health company Eucalyptus. The expenses were also related to restructuring following Hims & Hers’ shift in weight-loss strategy earlier this year, as well as legal reserves tied to recent litigation with the Federal Trade Commission
