Assessing Goodyear (GT) Valuation After New Lunar Tire Role In NASA Artemis Missions

Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT) has moved back into the spotlight after revealing it will supply specialized lunar tires for Lunar Outpost’s Pegasus Lunar Terrain Vehicle, which is part of NASA’s Artemis missions that are planned to begin supporting astronauts in 2028.

Despite the Artemis contract drawing fresh attention, Goodyear’s recent trading tells a different story. The stock’s 30-day share price return is down 12.22% and its 1-year total shareholder return has fallen 51.53%, suggesting momentum has been weak even as new projects emerge.

With Goodyear reporting a recent loss, a value score of 4 and the stock down sharply over 1 and 5 years, the key question is whether this is distressed value or if the market is already pricing in any future recovery.

Most Popular Narrative: 36.2% Undervalued

With Goodyear’s shares last closing at $5.71 against a narrative fair value of $8.94, the current pricing sits well below what this widely followed valuation framework implies.

The analysts have a consensus price target of $8.94 for Goodyear Tire & Rubber based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious what is built into that gap between price and fair value? The narrative leans heavily on a profit swing, firmer margins, and a re rated earnings multiple. The exact mix of revenue stability, margin rebuild, and future P/E assumptions is what really drives that $8.94 figure.

Result: Fair Value of $8.94 (UNDERVALUED)

However, the story can flip quickly if competition from low cost Asian manufacturers keeps pressuring pricing, or if trade disruptions and tariffs keep swelling Goodyear’s cost base.

Another View: Cash Flows Point The Other Way
