Executive summary

Replacement parts are the focus of Genuine Parts, which distributes them to automotive and industrial customers. Its automotive business supplies car and truck parts, accessories and service items, much of it under the NAPA name, through a network of distribution centres and parts stores. Its industrial business, known as Motion, distributes bearings, power transmission parts and other industrial components. Customers include repair shops, independent parts stores, fleet operators and industrial maintenance teams.

Distributing parts to workshops, retailers and industrial customers is a high-volume, thin-margin business that brought in $25.1 billion of revenue over the last twelve months. Revenue was $25.1 billion over the last twelve months and has grown at 3.2% a year across the last three years. The operating margin is 0.5%, the business earns 1% on the capital invested in it, and net debt is 7.3 times EBITDA. The dividend yield is 3.1%.

StocksXray gives Genuine Parts Co an X-Ray Score of 29 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 6% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is dividends (51) and its weakest is valuation (17).

Our fair value blend is $63.31 (range $63.31 to $63.31). At $133.96 the stock trades 112% above that blend, so the label is "Overvalued" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
