Q4 & FY2026
Filed Aug 6, 2026Peloton delivered year-over-year revenue growth in Q4, first full-year GAAP net profitability, and $377.6 million of FY26 free cash flow while guiding to lower FY27 revenue.
Q4 revenue was broadly flat year-over-year, but gross-margin expansion, lower operating expenses, positive net income, and strong full-year cash generation marked a substantially improved financial profile. The FY27 outlook calls for revenue contraction and further subscriber declines, partially offset by higher gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA.
