Macquarie has upgraded Peloton from Neutral to Outperform and raised its price target to $10.00 from the previous $9.00. The analyst's bullish stance is based on signs of an ongoing turnaround at the company. "Management remaining optimistic on cash generation at this print also gets us more positive on the stock at current levels.
