Goodrich to be Uhhh...

BF Goodrich doesn't want to be BF Goodrich anymore, says a recent wire report. Seeing as the company doesn't make tires anymore, and hasn't for 15 years, that's probably a good idea. But word of the planned name change has gotten out ahead of word of the new name, which isn't expected to be publicized until a proxy statement is submitted to the SEC, probably next month. Shareholders will then vote on a new handle for the firm at its annual meeting in April. Aerospace accounted for just 7% of Goodrich revenue in 1985 and now accounts for 84%.
