Herbalife (HLF) Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know

What Happened?

Shares of health and wellness products company Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) jumped 7.2% in the morning session after the company shared positive preliminary results from the beta launch of its new Pro2col digital health and wellness platform.

This positive development builds on momentum from the company's recent second-quarter earnings report, where it beat expectations and raised its full-year sales guidance. Herbalife revealed that its new Pro2col health and wellness digital platform, acquired in March, has seen strong engagement in its beta phase, with over 7,000 distributors participating since July. The platform collects detailed user data, from nutritional goals to sleep quality, which the company intends to use to suggest targeted products, boost sales, and improve customer retention. Herbalife plans a full commercial release of the platform in the U.S. and Puerto Rico during the fourth quarter of 2025, with further international expansion planned for 2026.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $9.56, up 4.3% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Herbalife’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 32 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 5 days ago when the stock dropped 3.5% on the news that markets pulled back amid hotter-than-expected inflation data. The main concern for investors was the July Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of wholesale inflation. The higher-than-expected reading suggests that companies could face squeezed profit margins due to rising costs. This also reduces the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, which could further dampen economic activity. Compounding these inflation fears are multiple reports signaling a weakening consumer.

Herbalife is up 43.1% since the beginning of the year, but at $9.56 per share, it is still trading 11.7% below its 52-week high of $10.83 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Herbalife’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $200.72.
