The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT) is a leading global tire company that manufactures and markets tires for passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial trucks and buses. The company has had some luck passing on price increases to customers, but its stock price has been under pressure in recent months. In January of this year, Christina Zamarro was appointed to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Darren Wells. This was a positive development for the company and could be a sign of better things to come.
In recent months, the company’s stock has been hit hard by market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty. Despite the challenging environment, Goodyear Tire & Rubber has been able to pass on price increases to customers, which is helping the company to maintain its profit margins. However, the stock has still suffered, and it has lost more than half of its market capitalization since last year’s highs. As of this writing, GT is trading at around $15 per share.
Looking ahead, the company is focused on expanding its presence in the global tire market. It is also investing in new technologies, such as intelligent tires and electric autonomy, to improve customer experience and increase its market share. The company has also announced plans to expand its production capacity in the coming years.
