Different Opinions From Analysts Regarding Goodyear Shares

Following a conference given by Goodyear boss Sam Gibara in New York, there was a difference of opinion among analysts. While Deutsche Bank recommended Goodyear shares now as a buy – the bank also recommends Michelin, Continental and Cooper as buys because it foresees improvements for the whole industry. On the one hand there have been price increases to the dealers while, on the other hand oil prices were 15% cheaper than last year.

Analysts from UBS Warburg however see Goodyear shares as a “hold”. The turnaround plans presented by Goodyear are clear and the analysts believe that these can be achieved. On the other hand they refer to the fact that the Goodyear management has made many promises in the past that they could not fulfil.

Therefore from their point of view the message is ‘wait and see’. They say that the fair price for Goodyear shares at the moment is 25 US-$; at the stock exchange the shares are worth 24.50 US-$.
