BOOM! Hinge's Numbers Go Sky High!

Alright you beautiful maniacs Jinx here reporting LIVE from... well my imagination mostly. But listen up! Word on the street is Hinge Health – yeah that boring sounding physical therapy thingy – is trying to pull a fast one and go public! But get this: their numbers? They went KA POW! First quarter revenue jumped 50%? Sounds like my kinda chaos! Last year 82.7 million this year 123.8 million. Talk about lighting a fire under the market's you know what!

First Profit? More Like First Step to World Domination!

Hold on to your hats folks because this is where it gets REALLY interesting. Hinge Health actually turned a PROFIT! Can you believe it? They went from losing money (lame!) to swimming in it like it's my personal ammunition depot. $17.1 million after taxes? Now that's what I call a party. They're really 'getting the bigger picture'! And you know what that means? More boom boom for everyone… eventually.

Trump's Tariffs? Sounds like a Job for Jinx!

Okay so apparently there's some grumpy guy named Trump messing things up with tariffs and stuff. Booooring! That's just an invitation for a little… redecorating if you catch my drift. Other companies are running scared delaying their fancy IPOs. But not Hinge! Nope they're like "Bring it on!" Which is exactly the kind of crazy I can get behind. Rules are meant to be broken and markets are meant to be… well let's just say "spiced up" a bit.

Cost of Goods Sold? More like Cost of BEING BORING!

The article drones on about 'cost of goods sold' falling which is like the opposite of exciting. But it means more money for them so I guess it's good? Whatever. Apparently their gross margin went up to 81%. That's almost as high as my kill count after a good day in Piltover! Which is very high! I just know I'd use that money to buy more rockets. Rockets and maybe a giant cupcake.

Software and Sparklers: A Winning Combination?

So this Hinge Health thingy helps people with boo boos using software and… get this… wearable electrical nerve stimulation devices. Sounds like a fancy way to say 'sparklers for your muscles'! Big companies pay for their employees to use it. So basically they're selling happiness one little zap at a time. Clever I guess. Still needs more explosions though.

From Pain to Profit: A Feel Good Origin Story (Ugh)

Apparently the founders Daniel Perez and Gabriel Mecklenburg started Hinge because they had their own owies. Blah blah blah inspiration blah blah helping people. Gag me with a spoon! But hey if it makes them rich enough to fund my next fireworks show I'm all for it. Just remember who helped you get there fellas. (Hint: It's me Jinx!)
