The market is right to be very pessimistic towards this business. Peloton’s management team expects the company to report revenue of $2.4 billion in fiscal 2026 (ending June 30, 2026). If this forecast is correct, it will mark the fifth straight year that Peloton has recorded year-over-year sales declines. Investors rightly punish businesses for lack of growth.
On a positive note, Peloton has cleaned up its finances. It reported positive free cash flow in the second quarter (ending December 31, 2025). And its net debt has decreased.
However, the company gives investors no reason to believe that sustainable growth can be achieved in the future. Peloton recently introduced personal training powered by artificial intelligence. And it revamped its product lineup. These movements do not support significant demand during the holiday shopping period.
Shares trade at a price-to-sales ratio of less than 0.7. This assessment appears to be warranted.
