Case Study:
Peloton Interactive, Inc.: The Rough Road to Turnaround
Instructions: The focus of module is financial distress and its roots. While the previous write-ups were more modeling-heavy and financial analysis, in this module, we want you to take a bigger picture view. It is still necessary to evaluate key financial metrics that you have studied in prior models and that are relevant to the case. But it is even more important to provide a critical analysis of the firm’s position in light of these financial metrics. Focus on what has moved the firm’s business (and by extensions its numbers) to the point where they are, and then discuss what strategies (and by extensions its numbers) need to be changed. A good write-up will explore alternatives, such as inaction. Be mindful of real constraints the firm is facing. What would have been an optimal solution at some point is likely no longer viable.
