Peloton’s worth hinges on rapid growth and rising gross profit margins. The company hopes its $2,000 bikes and pricier treadmills could reach one in 10 U.S. households – lots of room for growth from the current one in 200 or so, based on numbers in the company’s initial public offering prospectus. Peloton loses money, but touts positive trends in “connected fitness churn” and “subscription contribution margin.
On most of those filters, Peloton looks anything but fit. Rivalry is intense, from connected device-makers like Fitbit and GoPro to other at-home fitness equipment makers. New entrants are coming thick and fast, from Zwift to Mirror. The company’s suppliers arguably have too much power: it gets 91% of its equipment from just four of them. Buyers are dispersed, but can cancel their subscriptions at any time.
No extra money in American's budgets--sorry corporations we told you. well-paid-workers = monied consumers = LONG-TERM biz profit = thriving economy. No more going into debt to fatten the rich man's wallet.
Great line..
