Keep an eye on Peloton (PTON).

While the stock has been an abysmal disaster, the company is attempting to turn things around.  For one, PTON is replacing co-founder John Foley as CEO with former Spotify and Netflix CFO Barry McCarthy.  The company is also, unfortunately, cutting 2,800 jobs. 

On top of that, the company just cut its full year revenue guidance and connected fitness subscriber guidance.  

According to a company press release:

“Peloton Interactive announced a series of steps it is taking to position the business for long-term growth while establishing a clear path to consistent profitability and sustainable free cash flow. Once these actions are fully implemented, the company expects to achieve at least $800 million of annual run-rate cost savings through operating expense efficiencies and significant margin improvement in its Connected Fitness category.”
