The market

Before going into details of the market's dynamics and how to make money from it, here's a list of some leading tire manufacturers. The top players are a pretty diversified group.

A mature industry

In a sense, the tire industry is representative of a typical mature, low-growth industry. Typically, such industries are characterized by relatively low growth, emphasizing growth through consolidation and by wringing every bit of operational efficiency from tire and rubber manufacturing.

Low growth is still growth

One interesting facet of the Goodyear/Cooper deal is the 80% of its sales that come from the global replacement market, with 20% from OEM. The last point leads nicely into a key industry point that value investors will appreciate: The industry is not quite as cyclical as you might think.

Cost pressures

Another way tire manufacturers can improve earnings is through lowering costs. The most variable cost, raw materials, moves with the price of oil. Raw materials make up 36% of Goodyear tires' cost of goods sold, and approximately 67% of that raw material price is "influenced by oil prices."

A sector to invest in

The low-growth characteristics mean tire and rubber stocks will never be valued on the kind of earnings multiples that a high-growth software company will command. No matter. There are no prizes for only buying highly rated stocks, and investors can still generate high returns from stocks moving from undervalued to fair value.
