If Weight Watchers‘ stock was a diet plan, it’d be the one where you eat all the cookies but just… wait, no, this one actually worked. On Monday, WW International (WGHW) didn’t just lose a few pounds-it did a deadlift. Its shares jumped 9%, outperforming the S&P 500‘s 1.1% gain like a keto dieter spotting a buffet. Why? A partnership with Amazon that makes me want to yell, “We’ve got GLP-1s!” at my Alexa.
Weight-loss Expert Gains a Distribution Partner (Who’s Also a Corporate Giant)
Before the markets opened, WW International announced a collaboration with Amazon Pharmacy to sell its weight-loss meds. Let me translate corporate speak: They’re now selling their custom-made GLP-1 drugs through the world’s largest warehouse. It’s like if Weight Watchers opened a pop-up in every Amazon locker-except the product is “slimming” and the delivery is “overnight.”
In October 2024, the company launched a subscription service for these compounded drugs. Because nothing says “health and wellness” like your own personalized pharmaceutical spa day. Jon Volkmann, COO, said, “We’re committed to making it simpler and faster to access the weight management medications they need.” Translation: “We finally figured out how to get our product to people before they cancel their subscriptions out of sheer frustration.”
No Estimates Given (But Let’s Do the Math Anyway)
WW International didn’t share numbers on how this Amazon partnership will affect its bottom line. Which is fair-because when you add a distribution channel as big as Amazon, it’s like asking, “How much money will we make if we let everyone in the world buy our product?” Spoiler: A lot. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This isn’t a Netflix show-it’s a stock, and right now, it’s binge-worthy.
