Read MoreHide Full Article

Peloton Interactive, Inc. (PTON - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2022 results on May 10, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company posted an earnings miss of 17.8%.

Q3 Estimates

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fiscal third-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of 83 cents per share, suggesting a wider loss than the prior-year quarter’s 3 cents. The consensus mark for revenues stands at nearly $976.1 million, which indicates a decline of 22.7% from the prior-year quarter.

Factors to Note

Peloton’s fiscal third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from an increase in digital and connected fitness subscribers. Moreover, the rise in demand for its in-house exercise equipment like Bike and Bike+ bodes well. Digital subscriptions are likely to have driven connected fitness products backed by new fitness modalities and class varieties.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for subscription revenues is pegged at $360 million, up from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure of $239 million. Meanwhile, the consensus estimate for connected fitness product revenues stands at $654 million, calling for a decline of 36.1% year over year.

Increased focus on extending its manufacturing base with related shipment and delivery, innovation for its fitness product portfolio and the new digital content have likely contributed to the fiscal third-quarter top line. However, the increase in costs is likely to have negatively impacted the company’s top line in the quarter.
