Shortly after confidentially filing for an IPO, Peloton has publicly filed for that, with an S-1 filing unveiled less than 24 hours ago. Peloton is seeking to raise $500 million on the Nasdaq stock exchange, intending to trade under the ticker "PTON". According to its S-1 filing, New York-based Peloton recorded $915 million in revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. This is up more than 100% from $435 million in the previous year (2018), and $219 million in 2017.
However, Peloton isn't profitable, with $246 million in losses in the fiscal year ended June 2019. In 2018, the company recorded [a significantly lower] $48 million in losses, compared to a much higher $163 million loss in 2017. Sales of Peloton's connected fitness products account for a bulk of its revenue. In fiscal 2019, Peloton recorded $719 million in revenue from sales of fitness products, with $181 million coming from subscriptions and $15 million from "other" sources.

Can somebody please explain to me how it is possible that a company that recorded nearly $450 million of losses in the past 3 years manages to stay afloat? I'd like to know that trick too, so that I can spend every month more than I earn...

What bites my balls is that if this IPO pops enough, my index funds will have to buy this turkey.

Market share
If a company is increasing market share , that in itself requires money, investors will happily trade market share for profits, they’ll even double down and invest more.

All you have to do is convince them that if they get in on this opportunity there's a very good chance at multiplying your money.
