10 Stocks End With Solid Performance

7. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ:GT)

Goodyear grew its share prices by 9.14 percent on Friday to finish at $9.79 each as investors reacted to positive ratings from investment banking firms.

During the trading week, GT earned a “buy” rating and a price target of $14 from TD Cowen, saying that the firm is an “unloved” stock that may be poised for a rebound under the direction of a new CEO.

A turnaround is expected to occur in the first half of the year as it aims to focus on slashing its total debt of $8.8 billion and executing cost-saving measures. The second phase of turnaround is targeted for 2026.

Last month, GT reported a sharp rebound in its net income performance in the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, with adjusted net profit in the quarter ending at $76 million, a significant turnaround from the $291 million net loss in the same period a year earlier.

Meanwhile, it swung to a net profit of $70 million last year, a turnaround from a $689 million net loss in 2023.
