With regulators probing injuries associated with Peloton’s gear and people tiring of exercising in their basements, investors in the roughly $30 billion online-exercise firm may be rediscovering gravity, TheRealLSL argues.
is about to break a sweat. The company’s freewheeling growth showed a few weaknesses in its financial report for the three months to June 30, released on Thursday evening. With people tiring of their basements and regulators probing injuries associated with Peloton's gear, investors in the roughly $30 billion online-exercise firm may be rediscovering gravity.
Revenue at the company led by John Foley grew more than 50% from the same quarter last year, to $937 million. But it fell by more than 25% from the previous quarter. The next day the company said the U.S. Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security asked for information related to injuries on its machines. Shares fell as much as 9% on Friday.
None of that is good news for Peloton, and the disclosure of a material weakness in its internal controls, however easily remedied, is an embarrassment. But the biggest problem may be that the assist from the pandemic may now be over. Covid-19 accelerated demand for its bikes, treadmills and internet classes, persuading those thinking about stumping up for a pricey home exercise bike to take the plunge. In the full year to June, revenue more than doubled to over $4 billion.
