The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
In the reported quarter, the Americas segment generated revenues of $2.50 billion, which marginally surpassed our estimate of $2.49 billion but declined 3.3% year over year due to lower replacement volume and an unfavorable impact forex rate.
