Monday, Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ:PTON), currently trading at $5.58 and showing a significant 57% return over the past year according to InvestingPro data, maintained its Market Perform rating from Citizens JMP, as analyst Andrew Boone provided insights into the company’s potential strategies for increasing monetization per subscriber. Boone suggested that Peloton may raise its Connected Fitness (CF) subscription pricing by $5 sometime within the year, a move not currently reflected in their model. This pricing strategy comes as the company faces declining revenues, with InvestingPro data showing a 4% year-over-year revenue decline to $2.62 billion in the last twelve months.
The analyst examined Peloton’s marketing partnerships, particularly those involving its 40+ instructors and third-party brands. The analysis aimed to understand how these third parties benefit from Peloton’s brand extension. Boone noted opportunities for Peloton to expand into apparel, food & beverage/nutrition, and beauty sectors. However, he advised that Peloton should be cautious in selecting partners to protect its brand integrity.
Boone acknowledged that while expanding new business lines can be challenging, Peloton’s brand strength and the influence of its instructors are clear advantages. He believes that under new CEO Peter Stern (AS:PBHP), who started on January 1, 2025, Peloton is likely evaluating these potential market opportunities, with nutrition being the most promising sector for brand extension.
Despite recognizing the brand’s potential, Boone remains neutral on Peloton’s stock, citing the need for more clarity on subscriber growth acceleration. He stated that a significant forward-year EBITDA multiple would be required to justify a more positive rating. This aligns with broader market sentiment, as InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is currently fairly valued, with analyst price targets ranging from $4 to $20. The company’s financial health score remains "FAIR," though analysts don’t expect profitability this year.
