Despite the buzz around Peloton’s overhaul and AI driven launch, the stock’s recent momentum is still weak, with a 30 day share price return of minus 16.19 percent and a 1 year total shareholder return of minus 35.8 percent. This suggests sentiment remains cautious even as the turnaround narrative builds.

With shares still down nearly 95 percent from their peak yet trading at a steep discount to analyst targets, the key question now is whether Peloton is an undervalued turnaround story or if the market is already pricing in its next leg of growth.
