Upturn Advisory & Investor View for GT

10/26/2026: GT (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co is a global player in the tire industry, known for its extensive distribution network and long-standing brand heritage. The company's recent growth story centers on its integration of Cooper Tire and a focus on expanding its presence in the premium and EV tire segments. While its strong market position and R&D are strengths, the company faces risks from high debt levels, raw material price volatility, and intense competition from lower-cost manufacturers. It may suit value-oriented investors who can tolerate cyclicality. Key developments to monitor include the execution of its operational efficiency plans and its ability to deleverage the balance sheet.

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 97.3% 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.

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, while elevated volatility.
