Cooper Tire & Rubber (NYSE:CTB) had its buy rating reaffirmed by analysts at FBR & Co. They currently have a $53.00 price target on the stock. The analysts wrote, “We recently traveled with the Cooper management team and came away incrementally more positive around the growth opportunities that are in front of the company in both legacy markets such as North America and new markets such as China and Latin America. We think the primary concern for investors right now is lighter demand for passenger vehicle and light-truck (PVLT) replacement tires in the U.S. (a significant market). Our view is that lighter demand reflects a temporary air pocket and not a degradation in fundamentals, which we think remain favorable (higher miles driven, penetration of 17-inch and higher rim sizes, age of fleet). In addition, we believe Cooper has growth opportunities outside of the U.S. PVLT market. The company’s initiatives targeting Chinese OEM tires continue to be successful, and in our view, this is a significant revenue growth opportunity. Cooper also has opportunities in the truck and bus radial (TBR) tire market, where we believe its Roadmaster brand is seeing continued success here in the U.S. and could see opportunities abroad, as well, and in the Latin American market (although that opportunity is still in the early innings, in our view).””
