Peloton’s Holiday Slump Tests AI Redesign Despite Profit Push
Peloton reported a softer holiday quarter, missing revenue ($657M vs $674M expected) and earnings (loss of 9c per share vs 6c expected), with hardware and subscription sales also brief of forecasts. The company cautioned that demand remains sluggish, guiding Q3 revenue to $605–$625M (below consensus $638M). Yet adjusted EBITDA beat expectations at $81M and the full-year target was raised to $450–$500M from $425–$475M, aided by 39% year-over-year EBITDA growth and debt reduction. CFO Liz Coddington is leaving, and CEO Peter Stern framed the results as a balance of innovation and profitability, signaling ongoing product upgrades and pricing adjustments despite weaker demand for the AI-driven lineup.
