Shares of Goodyear Tire & Rubber (NASDAQ: GT) rose by as much as 6.2% today due to a sharp correction in oil prices. The tire manufacturer’s profitability is heavily influenced by oil, as higher gasoline costs reduce miles driven and decrease tire demand, while raw materials, 70% of which are driven by oil prices, constitute about 45% of its cost of goods sold. Although the current market volatility is expected to continue, the drop in oil prices is seen as positive news for Goodyear.
