Genuine Parts (GPC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Genuine Parts is poised for positive growth in the second half of the year, driven by increased repair and maintenance activity linked to rising new and used car prices, alongside favorable tariff-driven inflation in same-SKU products. The company's industrial distribution segment has shown resilience, evidenced by year-over-year EBITDA margin growth and the first positive comparable in six quarters, reflecting improved earnings leverage. Furthermore, the shift towards a higher proportion of company-owned stores positions Genuine Parts to effectively capture additional demand, enhancing control over its product offerings and capitalizing on trends in the auto parts retail sector and industrial distribution.
Bears say
Genuine Parts has expressed a negative outlook for its automotive segment, reducing its EBITDA margin guidance for 2025 from flat to slightly down, which indicates ongoing cost pressures, including higher labor, rent, and supply chain expenses. The company's industrial segment experienced a slight decline in comparable sales of 0.1%, reflecting a challenging environment with evolving uncertainties, despite e-commerce sales making up a significant portion of total sales in that segment. Additionally, the automotive EBITDA margins have decreased by approximately 110 basis points year-over-year, further highlighting the financial strain within the company’s key operating segments.
