Keepvsploton: high customer acquisition costs affect profitability

This week, we analyzed the similarities and differences between peloton and keep, the leading interactive fitness enterprise, from the dimensions of profit model, profitability and valuation. 1) In 2021, the online fitness subscription penetration rate in China was 4.8%, while that in the United States was 10.7%. The teaching cost of Chinese consumers was higher. 2) Peloton fitness equipment started, relying on hardware to launch intelligent auxiliary software system; Keep software app started by using free app to accumulate a large number of user base, and then realize flow realization (sales of products, service subscriptions, advertising). 3) Peloton made a short profit in the first half of fiscal year 2021 and lost again in the second half of the year. Keep has not yet made a profit, mainly due to the high marketing expenses. Our analysis is that firstly, the company actively increased consumer education investment in order to seize the market, and secondly, the flow dividend peaked and the drainage cost was high. 4) From the perspective of valuation, the valuation of pelotonps fluctuates between 1.6-21.6x.
