Planet Fitness Grew Revenue 22%, So Why Did One Investor Trim $20 Million?

Dorsal Capital Management sold $19.78 million worth of Planet Fitness shares in Q1 2026, reducing its stake to 7.3% of assets under management. Despite the company's strong 22% revenue growth and 20% EBITDA increase, the stock has declined 50% over the past year due to slower-than-expected member growth in 2026, prompting management to pause a planned price increase and intensify marketing efforts.

Planet Fitness Stock Plunged Following Earnings. Should You Buy?

Planet Fitness stock plummeted nearly one-third following Q1 earnings as the company cut its 2026 revenue growth guidance from 9% to 7% and forecast a 2% net income decline instead of 4-5% growth. The decision to hold Black Card membership prices steady and a 36% drop in new member sign-ups spooked investors. However, the analyst suggests the sell-off may be an overreaction, citing the stock's attractive forward P/E ratio of 13 and the company's plans for 180-190 new club openings.

Planet Fitness Stock Has Been Absolutely Hammered This Year. Is It Time to Buy?

Planet Fitness stock has plunged 32% year-to-date amid concerns about slowing growth. While the company added 181 new clubs in 2025 and demonstrated pricing power with a 50% price increase, comparable club sales growth decelerated to 5.7% in Q4 from 6.7% for the full year. Intensifying competition in the low-cost gym space and a valuation of 28x earnings leave little room for error, making the stock fairly priced rather than undervalued despite the sharp sell-off.
