Baillie Gifford & Co has filed a 13G/A form with the SEC disclosing ownership of 2,054,987 shares of Peloton Interactive, Inc. Class A (PTON). This represents 0.66% of the company.

In their previous filing dated January 27, 2022, they reported 31,817,011 shares and 10.67% of the company, a decrease in shares of 93.54% and a decrease in total ownership of 10.01% (calculated as current – previous percent ownership).

Last week Peloton said it expects $700 million to $725 million in revenue in its holiday quarter, short of the $866 million analysts had forecast. It cited lower disposable consumer income and a shift in spending patterns.

Peloton also said it saw its member count decline to 6.7 million during its first quarter from 6.9 in its fourth, reflecting “the rolloff of a Covid-impacted quarter” and a drop in subscribers for the Peloton app.
