The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research)Goodyear TireGTTOP PICKApr 27, 2023

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate GT as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported earnings showed revenues up over 6% beating analyst expectations, with the American region leading the way with 12% growth, showing signs that post-pandemic driving is back on the upswing.  It trades under book value and at 15x earnings.  We like that cash reserves are growing while debt is aggressively retired and stock is bought back.  We recommend maintaining the stop at $10, looking to achieve $13 -- upside potential of 23%.  Yield 0% 

(Analysts’ price target is $12.83)

Shares have fallen, but EV's boom offers GT great promise. EV's require special tires which offer higher margins/profits. GT is invested heavily in these tires. Be patient.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly As motorists return from the pandemic, this TOP PICK is well positioned as it owns the largest share of the replacement tire market in the US. Its recent acquisition of Cooper Tire will expand its international presence and will immediately be accretive to earnings. It trades at 4x earnings and is under book value presently. We recommend placing a stop loss at $8, looking to achieve $16 -- upside over 40%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $16.19)
TOP PICK
Fabulous Q4. Market didn't like guidance. R&D investments in EV market, as tires need to be different. Those tires have up to 30% higher margins. Bought Cooper Tire. Very strong future. Estimates $2.50 EPS in 2022, $3 EPS in 2023. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $22.38)
DON'T BUY
Very cyclical. Input costs are high. Best in class, but not an attractive industry. Better and steadier cashflow growth elsewhere. He has owned the bonds in the past.
BUY
They recently bought Cooper Tire and have pretty much taken over the tire industry. All last four quarters have beaten, and last Friday they delivered a huge earnings beat which sent shares soaring. This keeps going higher.
DON'T BUY

Not a fan of the tire industry. Doesn’t really care for the dynamics. It has a great deal of trouble passing through raw material costs. The collapse of oil prices has been a benefit, but it is going to be very difficult to repeat a decline in oil. He believes the company is very involved in OEM tires. This works by them selling the tires at cost with the car. They are then looking to get the replacement tire business. That is a terrible dynamic.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) The tire industry is undergoing some significant change, but this company seems to be rightly poised for it. They are building a world-class factory in Mexico.

COMMENT

This has a low P/E ratio because it is a cyclical stock. It has benefited from the price of oil. Its biggest raw material in making tires is oil. Also, you use tires to drive and as the price of gasoline goes down, miles driven goes up so the replacement of tires goes up. This will probably continue to do well.

PARTIAL SELL

Had a pretty good run and the outlook in the long-term is good. He would look to add on a pull back. If you own, consider taking a little bit of profit and buy it back on a pull back.
