Share count rising — dilution

+1.6% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 62.7M (2021) → 63.7M (2025)

Titan International makes large wheels and tires for heavy equipment. Their products go on farm tractors, construction machines, and mining vehicles. They are one of the few companies in North America that manufactures both the wheel and the tire together as a complete unit.

Titan earns money by selling these wheel and tire assemblies directly to equipment manufacturers like CNH Industrial and AGCO, as well as to dealers and end users as replacement parts. The company operates factories in the United States, Europe, and Latin America, generating roughly $1.7 billion in annual revenue. Their main competitive advantage is their ability to supply large, specialized wheels and tires that most general tire companies do not make. The biggest risk Titan faces is that its business is closely tied to the farm equipment cycle — when farmers cut spending on new machinery, demand for Titan's products drops quickly, which helps explain the company's thin profit margins today.

Cash watch

Titan International has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
