Winston Score History

The full picture

Goodyear makes tires — for cars, trucks, airplanes, and heavy equipment. It sells tires under the Goodyear, Dunlop, and Kelly brands to everyday drivers, auto dealers, fleet operators, and car manufacturers like Ford and General Motors. It is one of the largest tire companies in the world and has been making tires for over 125 years.

Goodyear earns money by selling tires through retail stores, wholesale distributors, and directly to automakers. It operates in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, generating roughly $18–19 billion in annual revenue in recent fiscal years. Its brand recognition and global manufacturing scale give it some competitive staying power, but raw material costs — especially rubber and oil-based chemicals — squeeze its already thin margins. The company carries a heavy debt load, which is its most pressing risk as it works to cut costs and improve profitability through an ongoing restructuring plan.

Revenue declining

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's revenue is actually shrinking. In a growth stock, that removes the core investment thesis. The low Winston Score here may be warranted — unless there's a turnaround story.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
