Doug Anmuth has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors, reflecting both positive and cautious aspects of Peloton Interactive’s recent performance. The company reported better-than-expected second-quarter results with a decrease in net losses, supported by lower-than-anticipated churn rates despite challenges in gross additions and hardware sales.
While Peloton demonstrated improved gross margins and adjusted EBITDA, along with positive free cash flow for the fourth consecutive quarter, its outlook for the third quarter remains mixed. The guidance for third-quarter revenue falls below expectations, although the adjusted EBITDA guidance exceeds prior estimates. The firm’s raised guidance for fiscal year 2025 adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow indicates potential for future growth, yet uncertainties around subscriber growth persist, warranting a Hold rating from Anmuth.
