Peloton Interactive Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON) is one of the best stocks for day trading. The company, which was once thought to be on the brink of bankruptcy, has made some progress but still faces cost headwinds, weaker top-line growth, and a long road to recovery. Its shares are down 7% year-to-date, and the stock remains volatile.

Peloton’s CEO Peter Stern, still within his first year in the role, is working to reposition the company as an AI-driven health and wellness platform. On September 3, at Citi’s 2025 Global Technology, Media, and Telecommunications Conference, Peloton (NASDAQ:PTON) presented a three-phase turnaround plan focused on rebuilding profitability and returning to sustainable growth.

Management highlighted progress on cost alignment and debt reduction, with free cash flow improving substantially year-over-year to $324 million in fiscal 2025 (FY ends in June). Peloton Interactive Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON) now targets at least $200 million in free cash flow for fiscal 2026.

Leadership changes and expansion into broader wellness categories, such as strength, mental health, sleep, and nutrition, are positioned as key drivers of growth.

These strategic updates follow Bloomberg’s August 14 report, which highlighted that Peloton Interactive Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON) is preparing its most significant hardware and software refresh in years. The company is planning to bring new versions of its bike and treadmill, additional branded accessories, and an AI-based personalization platform, as soon as October. The company also plans changes to distribution, including expanded refurbished sales and self-assembly options.
