Is It Too Late To Consider Buying Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON)?

Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. As a mid-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s examine Peloton Interactive’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What's The Opportunity In Peloton Interactive?

According to my valuation model, Peloton Interactive seems to be fairly priced at around 18% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Peloton Interactive today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $11.92, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Peloton Interactive’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will Peloton Interactive generate?
