Key FactsGoodyear Reshapes Strategy After Billion-Dollar Loss
Aug 13, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: thedrive.com
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: thedrive.com
- Weak demand, rising input costs, and competition were attributed to Goodyear’s $1.7 billion loss in 2025.
- As part of its restructuring, Goodyear announced plant consolidations and closures plus about 1,700 job cuts in North Carolina.
- According to Stewart, Goodyear divested the Dunlop brand, its chemicals business, and its mining business, also known as OTR.
- The new strategy prioritizes premium tires and sizes of 18 inches or larger; Stewart compared production costs of $10–$12 with $85–$89.
We paid down the debt, get our balance sheet as healthy as it’s been in 30 years, and we cut a lot of the things out of the system that was not about cutting our way to success, but it was about right-sizing the business for profitability.— Mark Stewart, Goodyear CEO, discussing the Goodyear Forward program and restructuring
