Financials Market: Peloton posts first-ever annual profit (FY2026)
Peloton reported its first annual profit in company history for fiscal year 2026, posting a net income of $63 million and materially improving cash flow and leverage metrics. The company generated $378 million in free cash flow (up 17%) and $388 million in operating cash flow, while adjusted EBITDA rose 16% to $468 million. Revenue for the year was $2.446 billion and fourth-quarter revenue was $608 million. Peloton reduced net debt by 80% to $93 million but continued to see a decline in paid fitness subscribers to 2.553 million (-8.8%). Strategic moves in the period included cost reductions of more than $100 million, investment in AI (Peloton IQ), a partnership with Spotify, and the acquisition of Pilates provider Skōp. Guidance expects modest Q1 2027 revenue growth but a full-year revenue decline of ~4% with higher profitability targets.
