Goodyear tire and rubber
Today, we look at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., the largest tire maker in the world. Goodyear has recently seen its revenue fall as the strong U.S. dollar has cut into the value of its sales outside of the U.S. However, the company expects earnings to rise over the next year and beyond as cost cuts in Europe and lower costs for materials such as oil and rubber take effect. In addition, a new $550-million plant in Mexico that will make tires for the growing high-performance tire market will add revenue starting in 2017. With a price to earnings ratio of 11.2, Goodyear’s stock is inexpensive. We recommend Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. as a value stock to buy.

GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER CO. (Nasdaq symbol GT; www.goodyear.com) is the world’s largest tire maker, with 50 plants in 22 countries.

In the three months ended September 30, 2015, Goodyear’s revenue fell 10.2%, to $4.18 billion from $4.66 billion a year earlier. The rising U.S. dollar cut the value of the company’s foreign sales (particularly in Europe and Brazil) by $430 million.
