The Peloton Thesis: Peloton’s app downloads on iOS and Android rose by 343% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, versus 134% in the previous quarter, although downloads declined in May and June from April’s levels, Post said in the note.
Peloton’s searches climbed 204% year-on-year in the fiscal fourth quarter, versus 70% in the prior quarter, and remained well ahead of its competitors.
