May was an eventful month for exercise equipment and services specialist Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ: PTON) . The company's stock, beaten down considerably on declines in its all-important subscriber count and a clutch of bottom-line losses, staged a comeback in May. It rose by more than 17% that month, on the back of a flip into profitability in its latest quarter, and other positive factors such as its inclusion on an important stock index. The first major newsworthy event in May for Peloton was the release of its fiscal third-quarter 2026 figures. For the period, the company boosted revenue by 1% year over year to $631 million. Net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) came in at over $26 million ($0.06 per share), quite a dramatic change from the year-ago loss of nearly $48 million.

Indonesia’s agriculture minister has asked police to investigate hundreds of palm oil companies that failed to pay farmers more as prices recovered from a slump driven by the country’s new export policy. The ministry has received reports on 270 to 300 firms that have not adjusted their prices over the past few days and has submitted the information to police, including special crime units, Minister Amran Sulaiman said after meeting with local government officials, the palm oil industry association and farmers groups on Monday. Sulaiman said he’d asked the police to carry out proper investigations before taking any enforcement action. Most of Indonesia’s around 1,900 palm oil companies have increased the prices paid to farmers, he said. The move is another instance of the government intervening in the palm oil market after it announced late last month it would take control of some key commodity exports in a sweeping overhaul. Indonesian palm oil prices fell after the policy was announced on fears shipments would slow down and stockpiles would swell, but have since recouped most of the losses. All parties at the meeting agreed there should be no further decline in Indonesian palm oil prices, Sulaiman said. “There are around 15 million farmers, and we cannot allow them to suffer losses,” he said, adding that the weakening rupiah should be beneficial for exports and farmers.

They subsequently fell as low as 1,500 rupiah, before recovering to 3,400 rupiah on Friday. Benchmark palm oil futures in Kuala Lumpur also dropped after the export policy was announced on the prospect of Indonesian producers rushing to sell before the new system fully takes effect. They’ve since recovered from those losses, and climbed as much as 1% to 4,599 ringgit ($1,130) a ton on ...
