Key Financials from Q3 FY2025 Earnings (Ended September 2025) Peloton’s Q3 results (reported May 8, 2025) showed resilience in subscriptions but ongoing hardware challenges. Highlights:
- Revenue: $624 million (down 13% YoY from $717.7M, but beat estimates of $621.3M).
- Connected Fitness Products: $205.5M (down 27% YoY; hardware sales slow).
- Subscriptions: Strong growth, now 80% of revenue with 51% gross margin (up 780 bps YoY).
- Net Loss: $47.7M (improved 78% from last year).
- Adjusted EBITDA: $89.4M (up 1,434% YoY – 5th straight positive quarter).
- Free Cash Flow: $95M positive (5th consecutive quarter).
- Full-Year Guidance: Raised subscription targets; FY2026 FCF expected positive but modest.
Overall, Peloton is profitable at the EBITDA level and cash flow positive, a big turnaround from 2023 losses. Subscriptions (the “sticky” part) are driving stability, with 6M+ members.

- Low: $5.75.
- Recent Upgrades: Goldman Sachs to Buy ($11.50 target); Argus Research to Buy ($10 target).

Pros and Cons of Buying PTON Now Pros:
- Subscription Strength: 80% of revenue from recurring subs (resilient like Netflix). Q3 retention high, with features like Pace Target boosting engagement (80% Tread users).
- Cost Improvements: EBITDA up massively; free cash flow positive. Marketing down 46% YoY while subscriptions grow.
- Expansion: Partnerships (e.g., F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix) and commercial gyms (Precor pilot) diversify beyond hardware.
- Valuation: Trading at ~1x sales (cheap for growth potential); analysts see 50% upside.
Cons:
- Hardware Slump: Sales down 27% YoY ($205M in Q3); consumer spending slowdown hurts.
- Ongoing Losses: Net loss $47.7M in Q3 (improved but still negative).
- Volatility: 9% weekly swings; past hype (2021 peak $160/share) led to 95% drop.
- Debt: $200M convertible notes due Feb 2026 – manageable but a risk if growth stalls.
My Take: Should You Buy PTON?Yes, if you’re a long-term investor (2–3 years) with moderate risk tolerance.
- At $8.67, it’s undervalued vs. analyst targets ($9.34 average, 8% upside short-term; 50%+ potential if subscriptions hit guidance).
- The shift to subscriptions (51% margins) and cost cuts signal a turnaround – positive FCF for 5 quarters is huge.
- But no, if you’re risk-averse or short-term focused – hardware weakness and volatility could push it to $5–6 support levels.
Recommendation: Buy a small position (1–2% of portfolio) if it dips below $8. Set stop-loss at $7.50. Diversify with stable dividend stocks. For real-time updates, check Yahoo Finance or your broker. What’s your risk level or time horizon? Let me know for more tailored thoughts! Sources:
