Next results ~November 5, 2026 (estimated)

Where it stands out: operating margin of 30.9% ranks 1 of 16 leisure facilities companies we cover. Where it lags: long-term debt as % of assets of 81.5% ranks 10 of 12 leisure facilities companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$87 per share in the base case (~$59–$120 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Moat

88 /100

Strong moat

How hard Planet Fitness's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 20 / 20

    Cash operating profit has been a median 24.5% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Pricing power 16 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 77.4%, moving by 6.1 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 19 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 27.5%; its worst year was 23.7%.

  • Cash conversion 19 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 10 of 10 years, at a median 18.2% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (92 before it).

A rules-based reading of reported figures, not a forecast and not investment advice. How the score is built: methodology.
