The company, whose research reports tend to trigger market moves (Plug Power’s shares fell after a scathing assessment), stated that YoY revenue growth for Nautilus, according to credit card data, is tracking at close to 400% revenue growth vs an expected 73%.
The company feels that Nautilus surge in sales has occurred due to an increasing number of people training at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, and its competitive prices compared to a competitor such as Peloton.
Nautilus’ new VeloCore Product is already “8-10 weeks backordered,” according to Citron.
