PTON stock had rocketed higher the day before.

Easy come, go. Peloton Interactive Inc (NASDAQ:PTON) share fell 5% on Wednesday after increasing almost 19% because of the closed deal with Hilton Worldwide Holdings to place fitness equipment in all of its hotels.

Today’s decline means the connected fitness equipment maker is still up 12% from Monday’s close. Peloton Interactive Inc (NASDAQ:PTON) has struggled to retain any previous rallies in its shares. PTON stock is down 92% from its 52-week high.

PTON Stock Status

Peloton Interactive Inc is quickly trying to shore up sales, which plummeted in its fiscal fourth quarter. In June, the stock dropped 28% over a year as subscriber growth slowed. Churn increases, and the number of fitness classes being taken by subscribers plunges.

Last week, Peloton announced selling some fitness equipment in Dick’s Sporting Goods stores. This decision is part of its strategy to decentralize responsibility for increasing sales. Customers buy its stationary bikes, treadmills, and new rowing machine on its website, and customers can shop at Dick’s or even on Amazon for particular gear.

Now what

The pandemic lockdown darling has failed to navigate the reopened economy properly, and Peloton business increased. The company was like a niche market rather than a fitness trend. Peloton’s equipment is tagged with a luxury brand price. It also requires an ongoing subscription to join connected workout classes to get the most out of it. An economy in a possible recession with rampant inflation, elevated gas prices, and rising interest rates make its business a tough sell.
