However, BODY shares have jumped nearly 125% in the past three weeks after the company posted its first-quarter numbers.
Recent Developments
Earlier this month, BODY delivered mixed first-quarter numbers. Revenue declined 12% year-over-year but came in ahead of expectations by $18.2 million. The net loss per share at $0.24 came in wider than estimates by $0.11.
BODY is focusing on new launches in 2022 and is following a synergistic strategy with the combination of digital fitness, nutrition, and community. The company delivered 16,600 bikes during the quarter and now has 2.26 million digital subscriptions. Impressively, it delivered 38.2 million streams in Q1.
Looking ahead, for the second quarter, BODY sees its top-line landing between $175 million and $185 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) loss is expected to be between $7 million and $12 million.
Concurrent with the rise in share price and insider Buys, our scan indicates BODY stock is receiving more and more attention on stock forums with the expectation of share price gains. It has received more mentions than other names such as AMC Entertainment (AMC) and Enact Holdings (ACT) in the past few days.
At the same time, a key insight that our TipRanks insider tool delivered is that BODY’s COO, Kathy Vrabeck, also happens to be a Director in another trader’s favorite, GameStop (GME), and has a 50% success rate in her GME holdings. The average 10-day trading volume in BODY of nearly 1.9 million is already 50% higher than the past three months’ average volume of 1.22 million shares.
Closing Note
While recent times have been challenging for at-home fitness names, BODY’s recent price gains and positive insider moves send reassuring signals to investors. The company has delivered robust subscription and streaming numbers, and the expected launch of new products should help the trend continue.
