Upturn Advisory & Investor View for GT

09/28/2026: GT (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co is a major global manufacturer of tires with a long-standing brand presence in both passenger and commercial markets. The company benefits from a deep distribution network and an extensive product range, though it currently operates with a high debt load following major acquisitions. Its primary growth opportunity lies in capturing the premium market for electric vehicle tires and executing efficiency initiatives to improve profit margins. Risks include intense price competition, vulnerability to volatile raw material costs, and cyclical economic downturns. This stock may suit value-oriented investors who prioritize established market positioning over consistent dividend income or high-growth prospects, with ongoing monitoring of debt-reduction milestones recommended.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
GT receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
GT has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-2558.6%), weak cash generation (FCF margin -0.2%), slightly negative revenue growth (-3.2%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
GT's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 14.9% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is GT's strongest growth driver at +93.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-3.2%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (-2558.6%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 95.7% and approximately 95.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.05% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 11.99%
AQR Capital Management LLC 6.25%
American Century Companies Inc 5.26%
Wellington Management Company LLP 5.24%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 4.67%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
GT generates approximately $184 of gross profit, $36 of operating income, and $-2 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Negative free cash flow explains the 2-star rating, with weak cash conversion and strong capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -1,178.20% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
GT has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
