| 0:00.0 | I'm Dear Jrabosa, and you're listening to CNBC's Tech Check. |
| 0:03.5 | Our show is live weekdays at 11 a.m. Eastern. Listen in. |
| 0:07.8 | Good Friday morning. Welcome to Tech Check. I'm Carl Kingtonia with Dear Drobosa and Julia Borsden. |
| 0:11.8 | Today, Peloton plummeting, why that stock is down more than 30% today. |
| 0:16.5 | Then recalibrating the reopening trade, the CEO of Airbnb is straight ahead. Also this hour, |
| 0:22.9 | the CEOs of Dropbox, IAC, and Microchip on what is an incredibly busy day for earnings |
| 0:28.8 | and tech guys. But we'll start with Peloton getting crushed this morning, as you probably |
| 0:33.5 | know by now, wider than expected loss,akening sales growth, sending shares down 30%. |
| 0:38.4 | A bunch of analysts downgrades follow that. Revenue growth of just six, not what you're expecting |

So I think that there are a lot of people who are going back, and we're seeing evidence of this, whether that's Peloton or Zoom or some of the other pandemic darlings that have seen this steep reversal. You know, sales and marketing costs, Carl mentioned this, they account for more than a third |
| 1:45.8 | of total revenue now, Julian. That's expected, that trajectory expected to increase through the |
| 1:50.9 | holiday season. Yeah, and that factor is going to continue to weigh on that company's balance sheet |
