Genuine Parts Company (GPC) had several key developments, with strategic movements including the
acquisition of the largest independent NAPA store owner in the U.S, which bolsters their U.S presence. Also, there have been several changes in their
leadership such as the CEO transition and an officer promotion. Moreover, GPC reported adjusted EPS that beat estimates, but faced some underperformance when compared to competitors. Despite some stock underperformance,
institutional owners heavily dominate with a 80% ownership of shares. GPC also reported higher than expected
Q1 sales and earnings, ultimately resulting in an updated full-year outlook. However, sales targets were reportedly missed in the first quarters. In spite of mixed performance, an
increase in dividends has been announced and the company has been tagged a top growth stock for the long-term.
