Investing in Planet Fitness: A 26% Gain in 5 Years

Planet Fitness Share Price Returns Behind Market Average in the Long Term

When you invest in a stock for the long term, you want to see positive returns, ideally outperforming the overall market. Unfortunately for shareholders of Planet Fitness, Inc. (PLNT), the stock has underperformed compared to the market. Over the past five years, the share price has only increased by 26%, which is less than the market return. In the last year alone, the stock has actually declined by 12%. This raises questions about whether the company’s fundamentals have matched its long-term performance.
