Consensus Price Target

N/A

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Bridgestone
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Bridgestone Co.:

  • Bridgestone Co. recently demonstrated strong fundamental performance by beating analyst expectations in its most recent quarterly report, delivering earnings per share of $0.23 against a consensus estimate of $0.1976 and generating revenue of $7.04 billion compared to the expected $6.87 billion, indicating that the company is effectively managing its operations and exceeding market forecasts for profitability and sales volume.
  • The stock currently trades at $12.00, which is positioned near the upper end of its fifty-two-week range that spans from a low of $9.15 to a high of $13.64, suggesting that the share price has recovered significantly from its recent lows and is reflecting positive market sentiment and potential upside momentum for investors entering the position now.
  • Short interest in Bridgestone Co. has decreased significantly, dropping by 58.5% to 85,322 shares as of September 15, 2026, which indicates that a large portion of short sellers are covering their positions, a move that often signals increased confidence in the stock's future performance and can contribute to upward price pressure as demand for shares rises.
  • The company offers a dividend yield of 1.85%, providing investors with a steady stream of income that can help offset market volatility, and this feature was highlighted when Bridgestone Co. was added to the Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buy income stocks list on October 1, 2026, appealing to those seeking reliable cash flow alongside potential capital appreciation.
  • Bridgestone Co. maintains a low beta of 0.57, meaning the stock is less volatile than the overall market, which makes it an attractive option for investors looking to reduce portfolio risk, as it tends to experience smaller price swings during market downturns while still participating in broader market gains.

Bridgestone
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Bridgestone Co. for these reasons:

  • Bridgestone Co. issued full-year 2026 earnings guidance of $0.860 per share, which is slightly below the consensus estimate of $0.870, suggesting that the company expects its profitability to fall short of what analysts and the broader market are currently projecting, which could lead to disappointment if the final results do not improve.
  • The company's revenue guidance for fiscal year 2026 is set at $28.7 billion, which is marginally higher than the consensus estimate of $28.6 billion, but the lack of significant upside in the revenue outlook may limit the growth potential for investors who are seeking aggressive expansion and substantial top-line increases in the coming year.
  • Sanford C. Bernstein downgraded Bridgestone Co. from a strong-buy to a hold rating in August 2026, indicating that at least one major financial institution believes the stock is fairly valued and may not offer the same level of upside potential as previously thought, which could dampen institutional buying interest and limit price appreciation.
  • The stock experienced a gap down on October 6, 2026, with the price falling to $12.00 from a previous close of $12.12, reflecting a short-term negative sentiment or reaction to recent news that may signal continued downward pressure on the share price in the immediate term for investors holding the position.
  • Bridgestone Co. operates in the automobile manufacturers industry, which is subject to cyclical economic pressures and competition, and while the company has diversified into other areas, its core business remains tied to the automotive sector, exposing investors to risks associated with fluctuating demand for tires and related products in a potentially slowing economic environment.
