GoodYear Tire ( (GT) ) has issued an announcement.
On June 1, 2026, Goodyear entered into an underwriting agreement to issue $1.05 billion of senior unsecured notes due 2032, bearing interest at 8.875% and guaranteed on an unsecured basis by key U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, with closing expected on June 4, 2026. The notes, issued under an existing indenture with customary covenants and default provisions, will rank pari passu with Goodyear’s other senior unsecured debt and include change-of-control protections for noteholders.
Goodyear plans to use the net proceeds primarily to repay, redeem or repurchase its outstanding 4.875% and 7.625% senior notes due 2027, with any remainder earmarked for general corporate purposes, including temporary repayment of various revolving and other credit facilities. The transaction effectively extends the company’s debt maturity profile and refines its capital structure, which may support liquidity management and financial flexibility for bondholders and other stakeholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (GT) stock is a Buy
with a $9.00 price target.

Spark’s Take on GT Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GT is a Neutral.
GT’s score is weighed down primarily by weak financial performance (deep TTM net losses, negative free cash flow, and high leverage). Technicals also reflect a bearish setup with the stock trading below key moving averages. Earnings-call commentary provides some support via cost-savings execution and share gains, but is outweighed by volume declines, near-term margin/cost headwinds, and significant cash outflow in Q1.
