Promotions Peloton

Shares in exercise bike maker Peloton plunged 23.93% to $24.22 in trading on Jan. 20. The reason for the fall in prices was news that the company is suspending production of exercise bikes and treadmills for two months due to declining global consumption, high prices and competition.

According to Foley, the information taken out of context contains a false impression and that the company has identified the source of the leak.

Netflix financial statements

Report Netflix, released on Thursday after the close of trading in the US, showed that the rate of subscriber growth for the company’s services was slowing in 2021. Last year, Netflix added just 18.2 million new customers, half the number of its record-breaking 2020.
