Factors to Consider
The improving industry in the United States and Europe along with rising shares is likely to aid Goodyear’s volume and mix growth. This is likely to have a positive influence on the soon-to-be-released quarterly results.
However, deteriorating market conditions in China, high raw-material costs and a reduced price are a few concerns for Goodyear, which are likely to adversely affect second-quarter 2019 performance.
