GT

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company

DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is GT Halal?

Tire manufacturer — a permissible activity, but heavy interest-bearing debt usually pushes the leverage screen above the threshold.

What You Should Know

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company manufactures and sells tires and related mobility products. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $18,469 million, interest-bearing debt of $6,985 million, cash of $723 million and accounts receivable of $2,602 million. Debt/assets is 37.82%, liquidity/assets is 3.91% and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 18.00%; the debt screen fails. Interest income is $6 million (0.15% of quarterly net sales), while tire, chemical and automotive end-use exposure remains qualitative.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt/assets is 37.82%, above examined 33% limits
  • High leverage and receivables factoring are material balance-sheet concerns
  • Automotive and fleet customer end use remains qualitative
  • Interest income of $6 million is disclosed; no scholar-approved purification percentage is asserted
  • Re-screen before each purchase given the transformation plan

Business-activity disclosure

Goodyear manufactures and sells tires and related mobility products. Tire manufacturing is generally permissible, while chemical, fleet, automotive and customer end-use exposure require qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue by downstream end use or provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

Purification

Interest income of $6 million (0.15% of quarterly net sales) is disclosed for transparency; no scholar-approved purification percentage is asserted.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Goodyear's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt combines notes payable and overdrafts of $483 million, long-term debt and finance leases due within one year of $1,226 million and long-term debt and finance leases of $5,276 million.
  • Cash is $723 million; no separate interest-bearing securities balance is identified.
  • Accounts receivable, net are $2,602 million.
  • Interest income is $6 million (0.15% of quarterly net sales); tire and chemical divestiture activity and customer end use remain qualitative.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
