Recent Updates on GPC stock

In the last 24 hours, Genuine Parts Company (GPC) has seen its price target raised by Truist from $129 to $133, maintaining a Buy rating. This adjustment follows the release of the company’s Q4 earnings, which were soft across both segments. However, the 2025 guidance aligns with estimates, albeit with a risk due to its second-half weighting. The company’s Q4 results showed a sales increase driven by acquisitions and favorable currency impacts, but net income declined due to restructuring costs. Despite macroeconomic challenges, the company remains optimistic about its strategic initiatives, projecting revenue growth of 2%-4% and adjusted EPS between $7.75 and $8.25 for 2025. The company also announced a 3% dividend increase, marking its 69th consecutive year of growth. Analysts believe that investors were prepared for the performance and guidance, expecting improvements in the latter half of the year.
