“We applaud the move as a good use of balance sheet capacity (vs. chasing other Connected Fitness verticals) that should bolster the supply chain (adding U.S. manufacturing/R&D), expand the TAM [total addressable market], and perhaps accelerate international market expansion,” wrote Baird analysts in a note.

Peloton highlighted the commercial business opportunities in its announcement. Baird estimates that the market for commercial fitness equipment sales is more than $3.4 billion globally.

Precor is based in Seattle, but is a division of Amer Sports, a Finnish sporting goods business. Precor has offices across the globe, including Europe and Asia.

“Our continued positive stance reflects Peloton’s open-ended long-term growth potential combined with multiple near-term drivers,” analysts led by Jonathan Komp said.

“We believe the company has a large and rapidly expanding addressable market and enviable competitive positioning that can help to capture a more than $6 billion revenue opportunity by F2023.”

“The addition of Precor should help augment early efforts in hotels, multifamily residences, and college/corporate (we note that the release omitted mention of health clubs),” wrote KeyBanc Capital Markets analysts led by Edward Yruma.

“Commercial applications require devices designed around materially higher usage, and Precor’s expertise should be highly additive.”

With regards to the enhanced manufacturing capability, KeyBanc also mentions a North Carolina facility spanning 230,000 square feet, which is “state-of-the-art and has particular focus on strength (a key area of interest for Peloton.”

Peloton is best known for its interactive platform and its bikes and treadmills.

The deal is expected to close in early 2021 with U.S.-based manufacturing expected to ramp up before the end of the year.

“It remains to be seen whether the supply/demand imbalance persists at this point, but we would assume that Precor’s capacity is far from being fully utilized given a lack of equipment orders from commercial customers,” wrote Wedbush analysts led by James Hardiman.

Wedbush anticipates improvement in order delivery lead times, which has been “unacceptable, especially during the holiday season.”

Wedbush rates Peloton stock outperform with a $160 price target, up from $130.

Peloton’s price target was also raised at Stifel, up to $160 from $144, with a buy stock rating.
