John Paul Foley, Co-Founder, chairman, and CEO, commented in the report:

We are pleased to report strong financial results for the second quarter. Ending Connected Fitness Subscribers grew 96% year over year to 712,005, and total revenue grew 77% year over year to $466 million driven by a robust holiday sales period, increased conversion from Home Trial launched in September, and continued low churn of our Connected Fitness Subscribers.

Shares of Peloton closed Wednesday at $32.70, with a post-IPO range of $20.46 to $37.02. The consensus analyst price target is $35.84. Following the announcement, the stock was down 9% at $29.80 in the after-hours session.
