Goodyear India - A Good Mid Cap Stock To Buy

A 74% subsidiary of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. US, Goodyear India is among the best-known tyre brands. It has a very wide product portfolio including tyres for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, tractors and earthmovers.

The tyre sector has been doing extremely well for quite some time now with lower input costs fuelling bottomline. This, in turn, has helped the component manufacturers to improve their performance on the back of higher demand.One problem with Goodyear is its margin. Operating margin and net margin over the years has been extreamly low at sub single digit respectively. This leaves it vulnerable to even a slight fall in revenues or a rise in cost.
