Peloton jumps after revealing Q4 earnings beat, more layoffs

Peloton shares soared as much as 22% in premarket trading Thursday after posting better-than-expected Q4 results.

Revenue landed at $606.9 million, topping forecasts of $580 million. Meanwhile, subscription revenue fell 5% to $431.4 million, but still beat the estimate of $410.6 million compiled from analysts polled by FactSet. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.05, better than expectations for a $0.06 loss.

The connected fitness company also said that it was “launching a cost restructuring plan intended to achieve at least $100 million of run-rate savings by the end of FY26 by reducing the size of our global team.”

Looking ahead: Peloton expects $400 million to $450 million in adjusted EBITDA and FY2026 revenue of $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion of total revenue — modestly ahead of Wall Streets forecast ($2.41 billion) at the midpoint of the range.

Prior to the earnings move, Peloton shares were down 20% year to date.

Crocs rises on new marketing campaign for HeyDude brand starring Sydney Sweeney


Sydney Sweeney has great... feet?

Shares of Crocs are rising after the footwear company’s HeyDude brand unveiled a new marketing effort starring actress Sydney Sweeney for its Austin Lift shoe line.

Sweeney’s controversial ad campaign for American Eagle spurred a massive jump in the denim maker’s shares, caught the attention of the president, and prompted “an uptick in customer awareness, engagement, and comparable sales,” per American Eagle’s management.

Sweeney was first announced as HeyDude’s global spokesperson in August 2024, and doesn’t seem to have given the brand a major boost so far.

Ford and GM reach 52-week highs as EPA seeks to repeal emissions rules

Shares of Ford and GM are each trading at 52-week highs on Friday, as investors pile into gas-powered US automakers with the looming end of the EV tax credit and the Trump administration’s potential repeal of vehicle emissions standards.

A lobby representing Ford, GM, and nearly all other major automakers has expressed support for the EPA’s proposal to repeal the long-standing endangerment finding that declared greenhouse gases a threat to human life. The finding provides the legal foundation for the EPA to regulate vehicle emissions.

Yesterday, EV giant Tesla urged the Trump administration to keep the standards in place.

Friday afternoon saw Ford shares reach their highest level since July 2024, while GM’s stock hit highs not seen since January 2022.

GameStop surges as company offers promotions to boost launch of “Pokémon” Mega Evolution set

GameStop is jumping as the company offers promotions to boost interest for today’s North American launch of the Mega Evolution set of the “Pokémon Trading Card Game.”

Options activity is a little more tilted to the bull side than usual. Over the past month, a little less than four calls have changed hands for every put option. As of 10:22 a.m. ET, that ratio is over five to one.

It’s a big day for collectibles fans and gamers alike: beyond the “Pokémon TCG” drop, there are also new collections from “Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic: The Gathering being released and EA SPORTS FC 26, as well.

As we’ve written, Pokémon trading cards have been skyrocketing in value, and GameStop’s collectibles business has been accelerating. These are two sides of the same coin.
