Peloton Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings: back to a profit as equipment sales grow
Peloton returned to profitability in the quarter ended March 2026, helped by stronger equipment sales and cost discipline, even as its subscriber base kept shrinking.
| Q3 2026 | Reported |
|---|---|
| EPS | $0.06 |
| Revenue | $630.9M |
Figures as reported by the company to the SEC for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Analyst estimates are not part of a filing, so no comparison to expectations is shown.
Key takeaways
- Revenue was roughly flat versus a year earlier (up about 1%), as growth in equipment sales — both Peloton-branded bikes and treadmills and commercial gear from its Precor brand — offset a continued decline in subscription revenue.
- Peloton swung from a net loss of about $48 million a year ago to net income of roughly $26 million this quarter, its per-share earnings moving from a loss to a small profit.
- Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, a measure of operating cash profitability), rose about 41% from a year ago to roughly $126 million, a sign the core business is generating more cash even as revenue growth stays modest.
- Net debt fell about 70% year-over-year to roughly $173 million, as the company kept paying down what it owes.
- Paid connected-fitness subscriptions — the recurring memberships that make up most of Peloton’s profit margin — ended the quarter at about 2.66 million, down from a year earlier, though the pace customers are canceling (churn) improved slightly to 1.2% per month.
- The trailing-year revenue growth and return-on-equity figures on this page are still negative, a reminder that this quarter’s improvement follows several years of steep losses; the company’s net profit margin over the past year remains thin, under 1% of revenue.
- For the full fiscal year, Peloton nudged up its revenue outlook to a range of $2.42 billion to $2.44 billion and kept its adjusted EBITDA target at $470 million to $480 million, which it said would mark about 18% growth from the prior year at the midpoint.
- Management also guided to roughly $350 million of free cash flow for the full fiscal year and expects paid connected-fitness subscriptions to keep declining modestly next quarter, to a range of 2.55 million to 2.57 million.
- Shares jumped in early trading after the results, as investors focused on the return to profitability and improved cash generation despite the ongoing subscriber decline.
