McGhee's Take: McGhee told CNBC that she isn't concerned with analyst price targets, rather she focuses on the direction of stocks. 

There are still people who want to buy products from Peloton, she said, adding that when someone buys a Peloton product, they have to subscribe to the service. With only about 3% penetration of the market, the company has room to grow, she noted. 

"At the end of the day, when it's raining outside, I don't want to go outside. I want to go upstairs and get on my Peloton," McGhee said. 

PTON Price Action: Peloton has traded as high as $171.09 and as low as $58.23 over a 52-week period. 

At last check Thursday, the stock was down 2.83% at $110.16.
