(Nasdaq symbol GT; TSINetwork Rating: Extra Risk)
(330-796-2122;
www.goodyear.com
; Shares outstanding: 269.4 million; Market cap: $8.8 billion; Dividend yield: 0.9%)
is the world’s largest tire maker, with 50 plants in 22 countries.
In the three months ended June 30, 2015, Goodyear’s revenue fell 10.4%, to $4.17 billion from $4.66 billion a year earlier. The rising U.S. dollar lowered the value of the company’s foreign sales (particularly in Europe and Brazil) by $401 million. Earnings rose 1.8%, to $229.0 million, or $0.84 a share, from $225.0 million, or $0.80 a share.
