This is What Peloton is Missing

Peloton Interactive Inc., a fitness company known for its tech enabled exercise bikes, saw share prices plummet 34% after slashing its revenue outlook by as much as $1 billion. Alex discusses why he’s continued to be bearish on the lauded fitness brand despite a spike in sales during stay-at-home mandates. He goes on to explain how Peloton does not fit the definition of a platform business, and despite the company’s claims of possessing network effects, he sees the company as a well marketed brand following the same linear model that we’ve seen in the fitness industry for ages.
