Winston Score History

The full picture

Debica S.A. is a Polish tire manufacturer that makes tires for passenger cars, trucks, and vans. Its tires are sold under the Debica brand and are popular across Central and Eastern Europe. The company is a subsidiary of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, one of the largest tire makers in the world.

Debica earns revenue by selling tires to car dealers, distributors, and retail customers, primarily in Poland and neighboring European markets. Its factory in Dębica, Poland serves as its main production hub. Being part of the Goodyear group gives Debica access to global technology and distribution networks, which helps it compete against other budget and mid-range tire brands. However, the company faces pressure from low-cost Asian tire manufacturers entering European markets, and its thin margins — around 5% gross — leave little room for error if raw material costs like rubber and oil rise sharply.

Revenue declining

Tire Company Debica S.A.'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.
