City of Anderson residents ask council to use hospitality fund for trail systems

ANDERSON, S.C. (WSPA) – Anderson city residents said they hope to see a portion of the hospitality fund dedicated specifically to connectivity. While council members agree it's important, they explained there are many more factors that have to be considered before that can be done. City council explained the hospitality fund goes towards capital projects that enhance the overall quality of life, support tourism and expand recreational opportunities. Councilman Greg Steele said he's received countless questions about dedicating a specific portion of the fund to connect communities to parks, trails and businesses. 'I don't necessarily think it can't be done,' Steele said. 'I think what people are asking for is a very specific blanket answer to an issue that has multiple dimensions to it.' The 2025-2026 proposed budget shows the hospitality fund will support multiple projects including paving Main Street, a Church Street Pedestrian Plaza, design costs for a trail from the recreation center to downtown and the Caters Lake Park upgrade. Residents said they wish to see more. Michael Gardner, an Anderson City Resident said, 'We're pleased with the connection to the rec center, but not satisfied.' While Steele agreed connectivity is vital, he said its important it done in a sustainable way where the city can maintain other projects. 'Repaving Main Street is going to give a huge uplift for people who want to come downtown and want to visit those main street businesses, so to me, we have to balance,' Steele explained. 'We certainly want to prioritize trails, parks, and greenway, but we also have to balance that with other projects that our cities have that will allow our citizens to enjoy everything.' Residents said they hope the City of Anderson can do what Greenville has done with the Swamp Rabbit Trail. However, Steele said it's important to remember the City of Greenville didn't solely rely on their hospitality fund, rather a variety of funding sources. 'This Swamp Rabbit Trail was mentioned, but they have used that same strategy in creating that it's called the Prisma health swamp rabbit Trail in part because they received a grant from Prisma health to help make that happen,' said Steele. Steele further said, 'I believe that our city does have a commitment to trails a commitment to connectivity, and funding that we need to be creative and look at it holistically. What are all the sources we can move forward and what is the right project for the right time to help us create a system that will benefit our residents and visitors to our city for years to come.'

BNP Paribas Exane dubs Goodyear "tariff winner," shares surge

-- Shares of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co (NASDAQ:GT) soared 10.7% on Monday following an upgrade by BNP Paribas (OTC:BNPQY) Exane, which dubbed the company a "true tariff winner" and heightened the price target. Analyst James Picariello elevated the stock to Outperform from Neutral, highlighting Goodyear's estimated 10.5 percentage points cost advantage in the U.S. due to tariffs and its potential for price/mix-led earnings growth. Picariello's report indicated that Goodyear's cost advantage stems from the current Section 232 auto tariffs, which levy a 25% duty rate on about 55% of all U.S. tires sold that are non-USMCA-compliant. As Goodyear is the largest tire producer in North America and only 12% of its U.S. sales are subject to these tariffs, the company enjoys a significant cost benefit. The analyst expressed confidence in Goodyear's ability to leverage this advantage for earnings upside, emphasizing the industry's need to price for tariffs. The report also noted Goodyear's progress in narrowing its margin gap compared to peers and reducing net leverage, which is expected to reach healthy levels by next year. The success of the 'Goodyear Forward' cost savings initiative, which is on track to achieve more than $1.5 billion by the first half of 2026, and the company's effective divestitures are contributing to this positive outlook. In light of these developments, BNP Paribas Exane has raised its estimates for Goodyear's EBIT and EPS for 2026-2027, with the new price target set at $15, up from the previous $11. This valuation is based on an unchanged multiple of approximately 4.4 times the estimated 2026 EV/EBITDA, compared to peers at 4.9 times, reflecting Goodyear's net leverage and profitability. The upgrade and raised price target reflect a bullish sentiment on Goodyear's strategic positioning and its ability to capitalize on market conditions, which appears to resonate with investors as evidenced by the stock's significant rise in the trading session.

Starbucks Tinkers With Pricing To Hold Ground In China: Report

Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:SBUX) will reportedly cut prices on select iced beverages in China by an average of 5 yuan (approximately 70 cents), the company announced on Monday. The move comes amid rising competition and more cautious consumer behavior in the world's second-largest economy. According to Reuters, Starbucks shared in a post on its Weixin social media account that it will begin reducing prices on dozens of beverages, including non-coffee items and Frappuccinos, starting Tuesday. The price cuts are part of an effort to make its menu more 'accessible,' with some drinks set to be priced as low as 23 yuan, or about $ to Reuters, China is Starbucks' second-largest market after the United States. Still, the coffee giant is facing increasing pressure from local competitors and a slowing economy. A source familiar with the matter told Reuters that Starbucks' pricing strategy is not a reaction to competitive pressure but a move aimed at attracting more afternoon customers. Despite previously stating it would not engage in a price war, Starbucks has introduced smaller drink sizes and issued coupons to appeal to a broader consumer base. In late May, the company reportedly explored a potential stake sale in its China business, seeking a valuation of several billion dollars. Starbucks approached tech firms and private equity groups to solicit feedback on its operations and expansion strategy. The initiative came as local rival Luckin Coffee (OTC:LKNCY) surpassed Starbucks in quarterly China revenue. Despite mounting challenges, Starbucks reiterated its commitment to long-term growth in the Chinese market. Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory. Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Starbucks, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For Starbucks, the 200-day moving average sits at $95.71, according to Benzinga Pro, which is above the current price of $89.64. For more on charts and trend lines, see a description here. Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
