Why Peloton Shares Are Soaring After Hours

Peloton Interactive Inc (NASDAQ:PTON) is soaring nearly 30% in Friday's after-hours session following a report from the Wall Street Journal that e-commerce giant Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) has approached the connected fitness company about a potential acquisition.

The report suggests Peloton may be seeing offers from other companies as well. 

The company is "drawing interest from potential suitors including Amazon," according to the report, citing people familiar with the matter.
