Peloton Interactive, Inc. (PTON - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Feb 8, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company posted an earnings miss of 8.7%.

Q2 Estimates

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of $1.18 per share, against earnings of 18 cents reported in the prior-year quarter. The consensus mark for revenues stands at nearly $1.14 billion, which suggests growth of 7% from the prior-year quarter.

Factors to Note

Peloton’s fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from a rise in demand for its in-house exercise equipments like Bike and Bike+. Meanwhile, the company is optimistic about its connected fitness subscribers and digital products. The company anticipates digital subscriptions to have driven connected fitness products backed by new fitness modalities and class varieties.

Increased focus on extending manufacturing base with related shipment and delivery, innovation for its fitness product portfolio and the new digital content may have contributed to the fiscal second-quarter top line.
