Despite higher valuations for off-price stocks, UBS expects their strong fundamentals to sustain this trend.
Deutsche Bank has upgraded Goodyear Tire & Rubber to a Buy rating, citing successful asset sales and cost-saving measures under its Goodyear Forward restructuring plan.

Musk's control over both companies raises questions about the fairness of the exchange ratio amidst inflated valuations.
