First comprehensive sell-side report on TRNR cites more than 800% growth in expected 2025 revenue
Valuation driven by stock-for-stock M&A model and potential crypto-treasury upside
Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) ('TRNR' or the 'Company'), maker of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the Wattbike, CLMBR and FORME brands and pending acquirer of Sportstech, today announced that Maxim Group LLC, a leading New-York-based investment bank, has initiated equity research coverage on TRNR with a 'Buy' recommendation and a price target of $15.00 per share, based on its independent assessment of the Company's potential operating performance and valuation relative to peers.
The inaugural report was authored by Thomas Forte, CFA, Managing Director & Senior TMT Analyst, following several months of due diligence on TRNR's specialty-fitness roll-up strategy and AI-focused Digital Asset Treasury Strategy. Forte wrote in the 12-page initiation note that:
'Interactive Strength's acquisition of Wattbike and the pending purchase of Sportstech take the company to a much larger scale for sales and adjusted-EBITDA earnings potential. We expect revenue to ramp from $5.4 M in 2024…to $105 M in 2026, and we are initiating coverage with a Buy rating and a $15 price target.'
Trent Ward, TRNR Co-Founder & CEO, commented that 'Maxim Group's coverage marks our entry into the formal sell-side research ecosystem and validates the increased investor interest we're seeing in TRNR. Analyst coverage is often the first step toward greater liquidity and more appropriate valuation for emerging public companies, and we're pleased to have a seasoned TMT analyst recognize the strength of our model.'
Highlights from Maxim's initiation
Buy rating; $15 target – implies ~130 % upside from the July 8th, 2025 closing price.
Key drivers: Wattbike & Sportstech contributions, margin expansion as scale builds within a large and growing addressable market, and upside optionality from the AI-focused $FET Digital Asset Treasury Strategy.
Catalysts: Sportstech closing, international expansion, new partnerships and corporate wellness offerings.
