Why Goodyear Tire & Rubber Is Plunging 16% Thursday
Shares of Goodyear Tire & Rubber (NASDAQ: GT), a manufacturer of rubber tires for automobiles, trucks, buses, and aircraft, among other vehicles, are down 16% after the company reported a disappointing first-quarter result. There's no question Goodyear Tire felt the negative impact from the COVID-19 outbreak during the first quarter. "While this unprecedented crisis continues to disrupt our business and the broader automotive industry, I am confident we will emerge from this crisis in a strong position," said Richard J. Kramer, chairman, chief executive officer, and president.
